    Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web     browser, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary     code, sandbox escape, information disclosure, mitigation bypass or     privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 153.5.0esr-1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.

    For the detailed security status of firefox-esr please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 153.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2026-110 advisory.

  - Privilege escalation in the WebExtensions component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and     Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109778)

  - Sandbox escape due to use-after-free in the Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox     158 and Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109707)

  - A malicious, compromised, or MITM-controlled Exchange server can return a single well-formed SOAP response     containing an element with enough attributes to keep Thunderbird's main thread CPU-bound for seconds to     hours. (CVE-2026-110249)

  - Privilege escalation in the Application Update component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and     Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109704)

  - Sandbox escape, site isolation issue due to incorrect boundary conditions, use-after-free in the     Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109705)
