The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.0-RC3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.0-rc3_security-8 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.0-RC3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.0-rc3_security-8 advisory.
- Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 (Coyote/1.1) and Tomcat 4.1.24 (Coyote/1.0) allows remote attackers to poison the
web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with
both a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header and a Content-Length header, which causes Tomcat to incorrectly
handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a
separate HTTP request, aka HTTP Request Smuggling. (CVE-2005-2090)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
