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

  - A flaw was found in Undertow. When an AJP request is sent that exceeds the max-header-size attribute in     ajp-listener, JBoss EAP is marked in an error state by mod_cluster in httpd, causing JBoss EAP to close     the TCP connection without returning an AJP response. This happens because mod_proxy_cluster marks the     JBoss EAP instance as an error worker when the TCP connection is closed from the backend after sending the     AJP request without receiving an AJP response, and stops forwarding. This issue could allow a malicious     user could to repeatedly send requests that exceed the max-header-size, causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
    (CVE-2023-5379)

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-2025:9582 advisory.
