Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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 was fixed in Firefox 141 and Thunderbird 141.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

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 was fixed in Firefox 141 and Thunderbird 141. (CVE-2025-8044)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 67c6461f-685e-11f0-a12d-b42e991fc52e advisory.

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 141.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-61 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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-2025-8044)

  - On 64-bit platforms IonMonkey-JIT only wrote 32 bits of the 64-bit return value space on the stack.
    Baseline-JIT, however, read the entire 64 bits. (CVE-2025-8027)

  - On arm64, a WASM <code>brtable</code> instruction with a lot of entries could lead to the label being too     far from the instruction causing truncation and incorrect computation of the branch address.
    (CVE-2025-8028)

  - Thunderbird executed <code>javascript:</code> URLs when used in <code>object</code> and <code>embed</code>     tags. (CVE-2025-8029)

  - Thunderbird cached CORS preflight responses across IP address changes. This allowed circumventing CORS     with DNS rebinding. (CVE-2025-8036)
