The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6966-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7518, CVE-2024-7521,     CVE-2024-7524, CVE-2024-7526, CVE-2024-7527, CVE-2024-7528, CVE-2024-7529, CVE-2024-7530, CVE-2024-7531)

    It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain memory operations when processing graphics     shared memory. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2024-7519)

    Nan Wang discovered that Firefox did not properly handle type check in WebAssembly. An attacker could     potentially exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7520)

    Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly check an attribute value in the editor component,     leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a     denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-7522)

    Rob Wu discovered that Firefox did not properly check permissions when creating a StreamFilter. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to modify response body of requests on any site using a web     extension. (CVE-2024-7525)
