The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1207 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java     applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

    This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise     Application Platform 6.1.0, and includes bug fixes and enhancements. Refer     to the 6.1.1 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these     changes, available shortly from     https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/

    Security fixes:

    Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the 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)

    Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the 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)

    A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module handled merge requests. An     attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted merge request that contains     URIs that are not configured for DAV, causing the httpd child process to     crash. (CVE-2013-1896)

    A flaw was found in the way Apache Santuario XML Security for Java     validated XML signatures. Santuario allowed a signature to specify an     arbitrary canonicalization algorithm, which would be applied to the     SignedInfo XML fragment. A remote attacker could exploit this to spoof an     XML signature via a specially-crafted XML signature block. (CVE-2013-2172)

    It was found that mod_rewrite did not filter terminal escape sequences from     its log file. If mod_rewrite was configured with the RewriteLog directive,     a remote attacker could use specially-crafted HTTP requests to inject     terminal escape sequences into the mod_rewrite log file. If a victim viewed     the log file with a terminal emulator, it could result in arbitrary command     execution with the privileges of that user. (CVE-2013-1862)

    The data file used by PicketBox Vault to store encrypted passwords contains     a copy of its own admin key. The file is encrypted using only this admin     key, not the corresponding JKS key. A local attacker with permission to     read the vault data file could read the admin key from the file, and use it     to decrypt the file and read the stored passwords in clear text.
    (CVE-2013-1921)

    A flaw was found in JGroup's DiagnosticsHandler that allowed an attacker on     an adjacent network to reuse the credentials from a previous successful     authentication. This could be exploited to read diagnostic information     (information disclosure) and attain limited remote code execution.
    (CVE-2013-4112)

    Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss     Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications.
    Refer to the Solution section for further details.

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.0 on Red Hat     Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages. The     JBoss server process must be restarted for the 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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1208 advisory.
