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

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in exceptions.rb in the i18n gem before 0.6.6 for Ruby allows     remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted I18n::MissingTranslationData.new     call. (CVE-2013-4492)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0380 advisory.

    Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation needed to address the     challenges of managing virtual environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails, a     model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the     controller and the view components.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A flaw was found in CloudForms in the self-service UI snapshot feature where the name field is not     properly sanitized for HTML and JavaScript input. An attacker could use this flaw to execute a stored XSS     attack on an application administrator using CloudForms. Please note that CSP (Content Security Policy)     prevents exploitation of this XSS however not all browsers support CSP. (CVE-2017-15125)

Peter McLarnan discovered that the internationalization component of Ruby on Rails does not properly encode parameters in generated HTML code, resulting in a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This update corrects the underlying vulnerability in the i18n gem, as provided by the ruby-i18n package.

The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by this problem;
the libi18n-ruby package does not contain the vulnerable code.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A logic error in valid_role() in CloudForms role validation could allow a     tenant administrator to create groups with a higher privilege level than     the tenant administrator should have. This would allow an attacker with     tenant administration access to elevate privileges. (CVE-2017-2632)
