Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-90741 advisory.

 - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 107 and Firefox ESR 102.5. 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-2022-46878)

 - An attacker who compromised a content process could have partially escaped the sandbox to read arbitrary files via clipboard-related IPC messages. This bug only affects Thunderbird for Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2022-46872)

 - A file with a long filename could have had its filename truncated to remove the valid extension, leaving a malicious extension in its place. This could potentially led to user confusion and the execution of malicious code. (CVE-2022-46874)

 - A use-after-free in WebGL extensions could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-46882)

 - An optimization in WebGL was incorrect in some cases, and could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-46881)

 - A missing check related to tex units could have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash.
 (CVE-2022-46880)

 - Mozilla: Quoting from an HTML email with certain tags will trigger network requests and load remote content, regardless of a configuration to block remote content (CVE-2022-45414)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected thunderbird package.
