According to the versions of the nettle packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to     fit easily in more or less any context: In crypto     toolkits for object-oriented languages(C++, Python,     Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even     in kernel space.

  - Secure Fix(es):

  - The ecc_256_modp function in ecc-256.c in Nettle before     3.2 does not properly handle carry propagation and     produces incorrect output in its implementation of the     P-256 NIST elliptic curve, which allows attackers to     have unspecified impact via unknown vectors, a     different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-8805.(CVE-2015-8803)

  - x86_64/ecc-384-modp.asm in Nettle before 3.2 does not     properly handle carry propagation and produces     incorrect output in its implementation of the P-384     NIST elliptic curve, which allows attackers to have     unspecified impact via unknown vectors.(CVE-2015-8804)

  - The ecc_256_modq function in ecc-256.c in Nettle before     3.2 does not properly handle carry propagation and     produces incorrect output in its implementation of the     P-256 NIST elliptic curve, which allows attackers to     have unspecified impact via unknown vectors, a     different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-8803.(CVE-2015-8805)

  - It was found that nettle's RSA and DSA decryption code     was vulnerable to cache-related side channel attacks.
    An attacker could use this flaw to recover the private     key from a co-located virtual-machine     instance.(CVE-2016-6489)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update for nettle is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in almost any context: In cryptographic toolkits for object-oriented languages, such as C++, Python, or Pike, in applications like lsh or GnuPG, or even in kernel space.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple flaws were found in the way nettle implemented elliptic curve scalar multiplication. These flaws could potentially introduce cryptographic weaknesses into nettle's functionality. (CVE-2015-8803, CVE-2015-8804, CVE-2015-8805)

* It was found that nettle's RSA and DSA decryption code was vulnerable to cache-related side channel attacks. An attacker could use this flaw to recover the private key from a co-located virtual-machine instance. (CVE-2016-6489)

Additional Changes :

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2016-2582 advisory.

    - Use a cache-silent version of mpz_powm to prevent cache-timing       attacks against RSA and DSA in shared VMs. (#1364897,CVE-2016-6489)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle 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.
