The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:0631 advisory.

    JBoss Web is a web container based on Apache Tomcat. It provides a single     deployment platform for the JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet     technologies.

    Multiple weaknesses were found in the JBoss Web DIGEST authentication     implementation, effectively reducing the security normally provided by     DIGEST authentication. A remote attacker could use these flaws to perform     replay attacks in some circumstances. (CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886,     CVE-2012-5887)

    Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss     Enterprise Web Platform installation (including all applications and     configuration files).

    All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 on Red Hat Enterprise     Linux 4, 5, and 6 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.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 5.5.x listening on the remote host is prior to 5.5.36. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Replay-countermeasure functionality in HTTP Digest     Access Authentication tracks cnonce values instead of     nonce values, which makes it easier for attackers to     bypass access restrictions by sniffing the network for     valid requests.  (CVE-2012-5885)

  - HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation caches     information about the authenticated user, which could     potentially allow an attacker to bypass authentication     via session ID. (CVE-2012-5886)

  - HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation does     not properly check for stale nonce values with     enforcement of proper credentials,	which allows an     attacker to bypass restrictions by sniffing requests.
    (CVE-2012-5887)

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

  - fix bnc#789406 - HTTP NIO connector OOM DoS via a     request with large headers (CVE-2012-2733)

  - http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1356208

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - java/org/apache/coyote/http11/InternalNioInputBuffer.jav     a in the HTTP NIO connector in Apache Tomcat 6.x before     6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.28 does not properly restrict     the request-header size, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a     large amount of header data. (CVE-2012-2733)

  - org/apache/catalina/realm/RealmBase.java in Apache     Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.30, when     FORM authentication is used, allows remote attackers to     bypass security-constraint checks by leveraging a     previous setUserPrincipal call and then placing     /j_security_check at the end of a URI. (CVE-2012-3546)

  - org/apache/catalina/filters/CsrfPreventionFilter.java in     Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.32     allows remote attackers to bypass the cross-site request     forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism via a request that     lacks a session identifier. (CVE-2012-4431)

  - org/apache/tomcat/util/net/NioEndpoint.java in Apache     Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.28, when the     NIO connector is used in conjunction with sendfile and     HTTPS, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) by terminating the connection     during the reading of a response. (CVE-2012-4534)

  - The replay-countermeasure functionality in the HTTP     Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache     Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x     before 7.0.30 tracks cnonce (aka client nonce) values     instead of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka     nonce-count) values, which makes it easier for remote     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by     sniffing the network for valid requests, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184. (CVE-2012-5885)

  - The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in     Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36,     and 7.x before 7.0.30 caches information about the     authenticated user within the session state, which makes     it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication     via vectors related to the session ID. (CVE-2012-5886)

  - The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in     Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36,     and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not properly check for stale     nonce values in conjunction with enforcement of proper     credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers     to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the     network for valid requests. (CVE-2012-5887)
