According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.x listening on the remote host is prior to 7.0.17. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
An error handling issue exists related to the MemoryUserDatabase that allows user passwords to be disclosed through log files. (CVE-2011-2204)
If loaded before other web applications, a malicious web application can potentially access or modify the web.xml, context.xml, and TLD files of other web applications on the system. (CVE-2011-2481)
An input validation error exists that allows a local attacker to either bypass security or carry out denial of service attacks when the APR or NIO connectors are enabled. (CVE-2011-2526)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
