The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1559 advisory.

  - When importing a curve25519 private key in PKCS#8format with leading 0x00 bytes, it is possible to trigger     an out-of-bounds read in the Network Security Services (NSS) library. This could lead to information     disclosure. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
    (CVE-2019-11719)

  - A vulnerability exists where it possible to force Network Security Services (NSS) to sign     CertificateVerify with PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures when those are the only ones advertised by server in     CertificateRequest in TLS 1.3. PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures should not be used for TLS 1.3 messages. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 68. (CVE-2019-11727)

  - Improper refcounting of soft token session objects could cause a use-after-free and crash (likely limited     to a denial of service). This vulnerability affects Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11756)

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - After a HelloRetryRequest has been sent, the client may negotiate a lower protocol that TLS 1.3, resulting     in an invalid state transition in the TLS State Machine. If the client gets into this state, incoming     Application Data records will be ignored. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 72. (CVE-2019-17023)

  - When converting coordinates from projective to affine, the modular inversion was not performed in constant     time, resulting in a possible timing-based side channel attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80     and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-12400)

  - During ECDSA signature generation, padding applied in the nonce designed to ensure constant-time scalar     multiplication was removed, resulting in variable-time execution dependent on secret data. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-12401)

  - During RSA key generation, bignum implementations used a variation of the Binary Extended Euclidean     Algorithm which entailed significantly input-dependent flow. This allowed an attacker able to perform     electromagnetic-based side channel attacks to record traces leading to the recovery of the secret primes.
    *Note:* An unmodified Firefox browser does not generate RSA keys in normal operation and is not affected,     but products built on top of it might. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78. (CVE-2020-12402)

  - When performing EC scalar point multiplication, the wNAF point multiplication algorithm was used; which     leaked partial information about the nonce used during signature generation. Given an electro-magnetic     trace of a few signature generations, the private key could have been computed. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-6829)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

USN-4474-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced various minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, trick the user in to installing a malicious extension, spoof the URL bar, leak sensitive information between origins, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2020-15664, CVE-2020-15665, CVE-2020-15666, CVE-2020-15670) It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain signatures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-12400, CVE-2020-12401, CVE-2020-6829) A data race was discovered when importing certificate information in to the trust store. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause an unspecified impact. (CVE-2020-15668).
