The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0286 advisory.

    OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)     protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An integer underflow leading to an out of bounds read flaw was found in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could     possibly use this flaw to crash a 32-bit TLS/SSL server or client using OpenSSL if it used the RC4-MD5     cipher suite. (CVE-2017-3731)

    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way the TLS/SSL protocol defined processing of ALERT packets     during a connection handshake. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make a TLS/SSL server consume an     excessive amount of CPU and fail to accept connections form other clients. (CVE-2016-8610)

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.
