"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2014:1184 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based
    infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote
    management of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.
    The spacewalk-java packages contain the code for the Java version of the
    Spacewalk Web site.

    A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way
    spacewalk-java displayed log files. By sending a specially crafted request
    to Satellite, a remote attacker could embed HTML content into the log file,
    allowing them to inject malicious content into the web page that is used to
    view that log file. (CVE-2014-3595)

    Red Hat would like to thank Ron Bowes of Google for reporting this issue.

    All spacewalk-java users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
    which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

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.");
