The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1011 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of     components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache     HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector     (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat     Native library.

    This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.0,     and includes several bug fixes. Refer to the Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1     Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes,     available shortly from https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/

    The following security issues are also fixed with this release:

    Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the Apache HTTP Server     mod_proxy_balancer module's manager web interface. If a remote attacker     could trick a user, who was logged into the manager web interface, into     visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script     execution in the context of the user's manager interface session.
    (CVE-2012-4558)

    Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the Apache HTTP Server     mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp modules. An     attacker could possibly use these flaws to perform XSS attacks if they were     able to make the victim's browser generate an HTTP request with a     specially-crafted Host header. (CVE-2012-3499)

    A session fixation flaw was found in the Tomcat FormAuthenticator module.
    During a narrow window of time, if a remote attacker sent requests while a     user was logging in, it could possibly result in the attacker's requests     being processed as if they were sent by the user. (CVE-2013-2067)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Tomcat chunked transfer     encoding input filter processed CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could     use this flaw to send an excessively long request, consuming network     bandwidth, CPU, and memory on the Tomcat server. Chunked transfer encoding     is enabled by default. (CVE-2012-3544)

    A flaw was found in the way the Tomcat 7 asynchronous context     implementation performed request management in certain circumstances. If an     application used AsyncListeners and threw RuntimeExceptions, Tomcat could     send a reply that contains information from a different user's request,     possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. This issue     only affected Tomcat 7. (CVE-2013-2071)

    Note: Do not install Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2 on a host which has Red Hat     JBoss Web Server 1 installed.

    Warning: Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss     Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration     files).

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5     are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1. The JBoss server     process must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
