The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 91.6.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1818 advisory.

    crossbeam-deque is a package of work-stealing deques for building task schedulers when programming in     Rust. In versions prior to 0.7.4 and 0.8.0, the result of the race condition is that one or more tasks in     the worker queue can be popped twice instead of other tasks that are forgotten and never popped. If tasks     are allocated on the heap, this can cause double free and a memory leak. If not, this still can cause a     logical bug. Crates using `Stealer::steal`, `Stealer::steal_batch`, or `Stealer::steal_batch_and_pop` are     affected by this issue. This has been fixed in crossbeam-deque 0.8.1 and 0.7.4. (CVE-2021-32810)

    During operations on MessageTasks, a task may have been removed while it was still scheduled, resulting in     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.15,     Thunderbird < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 78.15, and Firefox < 93. (CVE-2021-38496)

    Through use of reportValidity() and window.open(), a plain-text validation message could have been     overlaid on another origin, leading to possible user confusion and spoofing attacks. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 93, Thunderbird < 91.2, and Firefox ESR < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38497)

    During process shutdown, a document could have caused a use-after-free of a languages service object,     leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 93,     Thunderbird < 91.2, and Firefox ESR < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38498)

    Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 92 and Firefox ESR 91.1. Some of these     bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have     been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.15, Thunderbird < 91.2,     Firefox ESR < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 78.15, and Firefox < 93. (CVE-2021-38500)

    Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 92 and Firefox ESR 91.1. Some of these     bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have     been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 93, Thunderbird < 91.2, and     Firefox ESR < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38501)

    Thunderbird ignored the configuration to require STARTTLS security for an SMTP connection. A MITM could     perform a downgrade attack to intercept transmitted messages, or could take control of the authenticated     session to execute SMTP commands chosen by the MITM. If an unprotected authentication method was     configured, the MITM could obtain the authentication credentials, too. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38502)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    It was possible to construct specific XSLT markup that would be able to bypass an iframe sandbox.
    (CVE-2021-4140)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Constructing audio sinks could have lead to a race condition when playing audio files and closing windows.
    This could have lead to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-22737)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Applying a CSS filter effect could have accessed out of bounds memory. This could have lead to a heap-     buffer-overflow causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-22738)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Malicious websites could have tricked users into accepting launching a program to handle an external URL     protocol. (CVE-2022-22739)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Certain network request objects were freed too early when releasing a network request handle. This could     have lead to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-22740)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    When resizing a popup while requesting fullscreen access, the popup would have become unable to leave     fullscreen mode. (CVE-2022-22741)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    When inserting text while in edit mode, some characters might have lead to out-of-bounds memory access     causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-22742)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    When navigating from inside an iframe while requesting fullscreen access, an attacker-controlled tab could     have made the browser unable to leave fullscreen mode. (CVE-2022-22743)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Securitypolicyviolation events could have leaked cross-origin information for frame-ancestors violations     (CVE-2022-22745)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    After accepting an untrusted certificate, handling an empty pkcs7 sequence as part of the certificate data     could have lead to a crash. This crash is believed to be unexploitable. (CVE-2022-22747)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Malicious websites could have confused Thunderbird into showing the wrong origin when asking to launch a     program and handling an external URL protocol. (CVE-2022-22748)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Mozilla developers Calixte Denizet, Kershaw Chang, Christian Holler, Jason Kratzer, Gabriele Svelto, Tyson     Smith, Simon Giesecke, and Steve Fink reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 95 and Firefox ESR     91.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some     of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-22751)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    If a user installed an extension of a particular type, the extension could have auto-updated itself and     while doing so, bypass the prompt which grants the new version the new requested permissions.
    (CVE-2022-22754)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    If a user was convinced to drag and drop an image to their desktop or other folder, the resulting object     could have been changed into an executable script which would have run arbitrary code after the user     clicked on it. (CVE-2022-22756)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    If a document created a sandboxed iframe without allow-scripts, and subsequently appended an element to     the iframe's document that e.g. had a JavaScript event handler - the event handler would have run despite     the iframe's sandbox. (CVE-2022-22759)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    When importing resources using Web Workers, error messages would distinguish the difference between     application/javascript responses and non-script responses. This could have been abused to learn     information cross-origin. (CVE-2022-22760)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Web-accessible extension pages (pages with a moz-extension:// scheme) were not correctly enforcing the     frame-ancestors directive when it was used in the Web Extension\'s Content Security Policy.
    (CVE-2022-22761)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    When a worker is shutdown, it was possible to cause script to run late in the lifecycle, at a point after     where it should not be possible. (CVE-2022-22763)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

    Mozilla developers and community members Paul Adenot and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety     bugs present in Firefox 96 and Firefox ESR 91.5. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption     and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2022-22764)

    The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass     restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38503)

    A flaw was found in Thunderbird, which is vulnerable to the heap overflow described in CVE-2021-43527 when     processing S/MIME messages. Thunderbird versions 91.3.0 and later will not call the vulnerable code when     processing S/MIME messages that contain certificates with DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures.
    (CVE-2021-43529)

    References to CVE-2021-38503 and CVE-2021-43529 have been added after the original release of this     advisory, however those vulnerabilities were fixed by the packages referenced by this advisory's initial     release on 2022-07-06.

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2874 advisory.

  - During operations on MessageTasks, a task may have been removed while it was still scheduled, resulting in     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.15,     Thunderbird < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 78.15, and Firefox < 93. (CVE-2021-38496)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 92 and Firefox ESR 91.1. Some of these     bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have     been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.15, Thunderbird < 91.2,     Firefox ESR < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 78.15, and Firefox < 93. (CVE-2021-38500)

  - Thunderbird ignored the configuration to require STARTTLS security for an SMTP connection. A MITM could     perform a downgrade attack to intercept transmitted messages, or could take control of the authenticated     session to execute SMTP commands chosen by the MITM. If an unprotected authentication method was     configured, the MITM could obtain the authentication credentials, too. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38502)

  - The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass     restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38503)

  - When interacting with an HTML input element's file picker dialog with webkitdirectory set, a use-after-     free could have resulted, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38504)

  - Through a series of navigations, Firefox could have entered fullscreen mode without notification or     warning to the user. This could lead to spoofing attacks on the browser UI including phishing. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38506)

  - The Opportunistic Encryption feature of HTTP2 (RFC 8164) allows a connection to be transparently upgraded     to TLS while retaining the visual properties of an HTTP connection, including being same-origin with     unencrypted connections on port 80. However, if a second encrypted port on the same IP address (e.g. port     8443) did not opt-in to opportunistic encryption; a network attacker could forward a connection from the     browser to port 443 to port 8443, causing the browser to treat the content of port 8443 as same-origin     with HTTP. This was resolved by disabling the Opportunistic Encryption feature, which had low usage. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38507)

  - By displaying a form validity message in the correct location at the same time as a permission prompt     (such as for geolocation), the validity message could have obscured the prompt, resulting in the user     potentially being tricked into granting the permission. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94,     Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38508)

  - Due to an unusual sequence of attacker-controlled events, a Javascript alert() dialog with arbitrary     (although unstyled) contents could be displayed over top an uncontrolled webpage of the attacker's     choosing. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3.
    (CVE-2021-38509)

  - Thunderbird unexpectedly enabled JavaScript in the composition area. The JavaScript execution context was     limited to this area and did not receive chrome-level privileges, but could be used as a stepping stone to     further an attack with other vulnerabilities. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0.
    (CVE-2021-43528)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 93 and Firefox ESR     91.2. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some     of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94,     Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-43534)

  - A use-after-free could have occured when an HTTP2 session object was released on a different thread,     leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 93,     Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-43535)

  - Under certain circumstances, asynchronous functions could have caused a navigation to fail but expose the     target URL. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43536)

  - An incorrect type conversion of sizes from 64bit to 32bit integers allowed an attacker to corrupt memory     leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR <     91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43537)

  - By misusing a race in our notification code, an attacker could have forcefully hidden the notification for     pages that had received full screen and pointer lock access, which could have been used for spoofing     attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43538)

  - Failure to correctly record the location of live pointers across wasm instance calls resulted in a GC     occurring within the call not tracing those live pointers. This could have led to a use-after-free causing     a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0,     and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43539)

  - When invoking protocol handlers for external protocols, a supplied parameter URL containing spaces was not     properly escaped. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43541)

  - Using XMLHttpRequest, an attacker could have identified installed applications by probing error messages     for loading external protocols. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and     Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43542)

  - Documents loaded with the CSP sandbox directive could have escaped the sandbox's script restriction by     embedding additional content. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and     Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43543)

  - Using the Location API in a loop could have caused severe application hangs and crashes. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43545)

  - It was possible to recreate previous cursor spoofing attacks against users with a zoomed native cursor.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43546)

  - The olm_session_describe function in Matrix libolm before 3.2.7 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. The     Olm session object represents a cryptographic channel between two parties. Therefore, its state is     partially controllable by the remote party of the channel. Attackers can construct a crafted sequence of     messages to manipulate the state of the receiver's session in such a way that, for some buffer sizes, a     buffer overflow happens on a call to olm_session_describe. Furthermore, safe buffer sizes were     undocumented. The overflow content is partially controllable by the attacker and limited to ASCII spaces     and digits. The known affected products are Element Web And SchildiChat Web. (CVE-2021-44538)

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 91.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2021-50 advisory.

  - The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass     restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. (CVE-2021-38503)

  - Thunderbird versions prior to 91.3.0 are vulnerable to the heap overflow described in CVE-2021-43527 when     processing S/MIME messages. Thunderbird versions 91.3.0 and later will not call the vulnerable code when     processing S/MIME messages that contain certificates with DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Note:
    This advisory was added on January 17, 2023 after discovering it was inadvertently left out of the     original advisory. The fix was included in the original release of Thunderbird 91.3. (CVE-2021-43529)

  - When interacting with an HTML input element's file picker dialog with <code>webkitdirectory</code> set, a     use-after-free could have resulted, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2021-38504)

  - Microsoft introduced a new feature in Windows 10 known as Cloud Clipboard which, if enabled, will record     data copied to the clipboard to the cloud, and make it available on other computers in certain scenarios.
    Applications that wish to prevent copied data from being recorded in Cloud History must use specific     clipboard formats; and Thunderbird before version 91.3 did not implement them. This could have caused     sensitive data to be recorded to a user's Microsoft account. This bug only affects Thunderbird for Windows     10+ with Cloud Clipboard enabled. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2021-38505)

  - Through a series of web navigations, Thunderbird could have entered fullscreen mode without notification     or warning to the user. This could lead to spoofing attacks on the browser UI including phishing.
    (CVE-2021-38506)
