"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2016:0440 advisory.

    OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
    and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
    It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
    allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
    applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to
    implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

    A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenStack Orchestration
    service (heat), where a specially formatted template could be used to
    trick the heat-engine service into opening a local file. Although the
    file contents are never disclosed to the end user, an OpenStack-
    authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
    or determine whether a given file name is present on the server.
    (CVE-2015-5295)

    This issue was discovered by Steven Hardy of Red Hat.

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.");
