The version of mozilla-firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 102.0 / 91.11.0esr. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-179-02 advisory.

  - The Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported potential vulnerabilities present in Thunderbird 91.10. 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 < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11,     Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34484)

  - If an object prototype was corrupted by an attacker, they would have been able to set undesired attributes     on a JavaScript object, leading to privileged code execution. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102,     Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-2200)

  - An attacker could have injected CSS into stylesheets accessible via internal URIs, such as resource:, and     in doing so bypass a page's Content Security Policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.11,     Thunderbird < 102, Thunderbird < 91.11, and Firefox < 101. (CVE-2022-31744)

  - An iframe that was not permitted to run scripts could do so if the user clicked on a     <code>javascript:</code> link. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird     < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34468)

  - Session history navigations may have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11.
    (CVE-2022-34470)
