The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1088 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of     components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache     HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector     (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat     Native library.

    This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1,     and includes several bug fixes. Refer to the Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.1.0     Release Notes, linked to in the References section, for information on the     most significant of these changes.

    The following security issues are also fixed with this release:

    A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in     the mod_status httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page     served by mod_status on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module     (MPM) could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd     child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the apache user. (CVE-2014-0226)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_deflate module     handled request body decompression (configured via the DEFLATE input     filter). A remote attacker able to send a request whose body would be     decompressed could use this flaw to consume an excessive amount of system     memory and CPU on the target system. (CVE-2014-0118)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_cgid module     executed CGI scripts that did not read data from the standard input.
    A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted request that would cause     the httpd child process to hang indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0231)

    It was found that several application-provided XML files, such as web.xml,     content.xml, *.tld, *.tagx, and *.jspx, resolved external entities,     permitting XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. An attacker able to deploy     malicious applications to Tomcat could use this flaw to circumvent security     restrictions set by the JSM, and gain access to sensitive information on     the system. Note that this flaw only affected deployments in which Tomcat     is running applications from untrusted sources, such as in a shared hosting     environment. (CVE-2013-4590)

    It was found that, in certain circumstances, it was possible for a     malicious web application to replace the XML parsers used by Tomcat to     process XSLTs for the default servlet, JSP documents, tag library     descriptors (TLDs), and tag plug-in configuration files. The injected XML     parser(s) could then bypass the limits imposed on XML external entities     and/or gain access to the XML files processed for other web applications     deployed on the same Tomcat instance. (CVE-2014-0119)

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5     are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.1.0. The JBoss server     process must be restarted for this 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.
