"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2013:0631 advisory.

    JBoss Web is a web container based on Apache Tomcat. It provides a single
    deployment platform for the JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet
    technologies.

    Multiple weaknesses were found in the JBoss Web DIGEST authentication
    implementation, effectively reducing the security normally provided by
    DIGEST authentication. A remote attacker could use these flaws to perform
    replay attacks in some circumstances. (CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886,
    CVE-2012-5887)

    Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss
    Enterprise Web Platform installation (including all applications and
    configuration files).

    All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 on Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4, 5, and 6 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.");
