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.

The remote Ubuntu 21.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5246-1 advisory.

  - An issue present in lowering/register allocation could have led to obscure but deterministic register     confusion failures in JITted code that would lead to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 91 and Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29981)

  - Due to incorrect JIT optimization, we incorrectly interpreted data from the wrong type of object,     resulting in the potential leak of a single bit of memory. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and     Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29982)

  - After requesting multiple permissions, and closing the first permission panel, subsequent permission     panels will be displayed in a different position but still record a click in the default location, making     it possible to trick a user into accepting a permission they did not want to. *This bug only affects     Firefox on Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and     Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29987)

  - Firefox incorrectly accepted a newline in a HTTP/3 header, interpretting it as two separate headers. This     allowed for a header splitting attack against servers using HTTP/3. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     91.0.1 and Thunderbird < 91.0.1. (CVE-2021-29991)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 78.13.0. 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 < 91.1 and Firefox ESR < 91.1.
    (CVE-2021-38495)

  - 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)

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 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.

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)

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 Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 91.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2021-55 advisory.

  - When receiving an OpenPGP/MIME signed email message that contains an additional outer MIME message layer,     for example a message footer added by a mailing list gateway, Thunderbird only considered the inner signed     message for the signature validity. This gave the false impression that the additional contents were also     covered by the digital signature. Starting with Thunderbird version 91.4.1, only the signature that     belongs to the top level MIME part will be considered for the displayed status. (CVE-2021-4126)

  - Thunderbird users who use the Matrix chat protocol were vulnerable to a buffer overflow in libolm, that an     attacker may trigger by a crafted sequence of  messages. The overflow content is partially controllable by     the attacker and limited to ASCII spaces and digits. (CVE-2021-44538)
