There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - The SymmetricBinding in Apache CXF before 2.6.13 and 2.7.x before 2.7.10, when EncryptBeforeSigning is
    enabled and the UsernameToken policy is set to an EncryptedSupportingToken, transmits the UsernameToken in
    cleartext, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.
    (CVE-2014-0035)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0798 advisory.

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

    Apache CXF is an open source services framework, which is a part of     Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

    It was found that the SecurityTokenService (STS), provided as a part of     Apache CXF, could under certain circumstances accept invalid SAML tokens as     valid. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted SAML token to gain     access to an application that uses STS for validation of SAML tokens.
    (CVE-2014-0034)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the way Apache CXF created error     messages for certain POST requests. A remote attacker could send a     specially crafted request which, when processed by an application using     Apache CXF, could consume an excessive amount of memory on the system,     possibly triggering an Out Of Memory (OOM) error. (CVE-2014-0109)

    It was found that when a large invalid SOAP message was processed by Apache     CXF, it could be saved to a temporary file in the /tmp directory. A remote     attacker could send a specially crafted SOAP message that, when processed     by an application using Apache CXF, would use an excessive amount of disk     space, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0110)

    It was found that the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)     implementation enabled external entity expansion by default. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to view the contents of arbitrary files     accessible to the application server user. (CVE-2014-3481)

    It was discovered that UsernameTokens were sent in plain text by an Apache     CXF client that used a Symmetric EncryptBeforeSigning password policy.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to obtain the user name     and password used by the client application using Apache CXF.
    (CVE-2014-0035)

    The CVE-2014-3481 issue was discovered by the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise     Application Platform QE team.

    This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise     Application Platform 6.2.3, and includes bug fixes and enhancements.
    Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.4 Release Notes, linked to in     the References.

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2 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-2014:0799 advisory.
