"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2011:1303 advisory.

    The jbossws-common package provides JBoss Web Services Native, a web
    service framework included as part of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform. It
    implements the JAX-WS specification.

    It was found that JBoss Web Services Native did not properly protect
    against recursive entity resolution when processing Document Type
    Definitions (DTD). A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a
    specially-crafted HTTP POST request to a deployed web service, causing
    excessive CPU and memory consumption on the system hosting that service. If
    the attack is repeated to consume all available network sockets, the server
    will become unavailable. This flaw did not affect systems using JBoss Web
    Services CXF (provided by jbossas-ws-cxf-ewp). (CVE-2011-1483)

    Warning: Before applying this update, please back up your JBoss Enterprise
    Web Platform's jboss-as-web/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/ directory, along
    with all other customized configuration files.

    Users of JBoss Web Services Native should upgrade to this updated package,
    which corrects this issue. 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
