The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote AIX host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in s3_srvr.c,     ssl_sess.c, and t1_lib.c due to improper use of pointer     arithmetic for heap-buffer boundary checks. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-2177)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     dsa_sign_setup() function in dsa_ossl.c due to a failure     to properly ensure the use of constant-time operations.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via a timing side-channel attack, to disclose DSA key     information. (CVE-2016-2178)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the DTLS     implementation due to a failure to properly restrict the     lifetime of queue entries associated with unused     out-of-order messages. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, by maintaining multiple     crafted DTLS sessions simultaneously, to exhaust memory.
    (CVE-2016-2179)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the X.509 Public     Key Infrastructure Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP)     implementation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via a crafted time-stamp file that is     mishandled by the 'openssl ts' command, to cause     denial of service or to disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2016-2180)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     Anti-Replay feature in the DTLS implementation due to     improper handling of epoch sequence numbers in records.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via spoofed DTLS records, to cause legitimate packets to     be dropped. (CVE-2016-2181)

  - An overflow condition exists in the BN_bn2dec() function     in bn_print.c due to improper validation of     user-supplied input when handling BIGNUM values. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     crash the process. (CVE-2016-2182)

  - A vulnerability exists, known as SWEET32, in the 3DES     and Blowfish algorithms due to the use of weak 64-bit     block ciphers by default. A man-in-the-middle attacker     who has sufficient resources can exploit this     vulnerability, via a 'birthday' attack, to detect a     collision that leaks the XOR between the fixed secret     and a known plaintext, allowing the disclosure of the     secret text, such as secure HTTPS cookies, and possibly     resulting in the hijacking of an authenticated session.
    (CVE-2016-2183)

  - A flaw exists in the tls_decrypt_ticket() function in     t1_lib.c due to improper handling of ticket HMAC     digests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a ticket that is too short, to crash the     process, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-6302)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the     MDC2_Update() function in mdc2dgst.c due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based     buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition or possibly the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-6303)

  - A flaw exists in the ssl_parse_clienthello_tlsext()     function in t1_lib.c due to improper handling of overly     large OCSP Status Request extensions from clients. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     large OCSP Status Request extensions, to exhaust memory     resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-6304)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the certificate     parser that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker     to cause a denial of service via crafted certificate     operations. (CVE-2016-6306)

  - A flaw exists in the GOST ciphersuites due to the use of     long-term keys to establish an encrypted connection. A     man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, via a Key     Compromise Impersonation (KCI) attack, to impersonate     the server.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in x509_vfy.c     due to improper handling of certificate revocation lists     (CRLs). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted CRL, to cause a NULL     pointer dereference, resulting in a crash of the     service. (CVE-2016-7052)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The dsa_sign_setup function in crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c in OpenSSL through 1.0.2h does not properly ensure     the use of constant-time operations, which makes it easier for local users to discover a DSA private key     via a timing side-channel attack. (CVE-2016-2178)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to its self-reported version, the MySQL Enterprise Monitor application running on the remote host is 3.1.x prior to 3.1.5.7958.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     bundled version of Apache Tomcat in the Manager and Host     Manager web applications due to a flaw in the index page     when issuing redirects in response to unauthenticated     requests for the root directory of the application. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain     access to the XSRF token information stored in the index     page. (CVE-2015-5351)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Framework subcomponent that allows an authenticated,     remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-0635)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     bundled version of Apache Tomcat that allows a specially     crafted web application to load the     StatusManagerServlet. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to a list     of all deployed applications and a list of the HTTP     request lines for all requests currently being     processed. (CVE-2016-0706)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     bundled version of Apache Tomcat due to a flaw in the     StandardManager, PersistentManager, and cluster     implementations that is triggered when handling     persistent sessions. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a crafted object in a session, to     bypass the security manager and execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-0714)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the bundled     version of Apache Tomcat due to a failure to consider     whether ResourceLinkFactory.setGlobalContext callers are     authorized. An authenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via a web application that sets a crafted     global context, to bypass intended SecurityManager     restrictions and read or write to arbitrary application     data or cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-0763)

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the     bundled version of OpenSSL in s3_srvr.c, ssl_sess.c, and     t1_lib.c due to improper use of pointer arithmetic for     heap-buffer boundary checks. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-2177)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     bundled version of OpenSSL in the dsa_sign_setup()     function in dsa_ossl.c due to a failure to properly     ensure the use of constant-time operations.
