The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 22.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5824-1 advisory.

  - Service Workers should not be able to infer information about opaque cross-origin responses; but timing     information for cross-origin media combined with Range requests might have allowed them to determine the     presence or length of a media file. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5,     and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45403)

  - Through a series of popup and <code>window.print()</code> calls, an attacker can cause a window to go     fullscreen without the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or     spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
    (CVE-2022-45404)

  - Freeing arbitrary <code>nsIInputStream</code>'s on a different thread than creation could have led to a     use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5,     Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45405)

  - If an out-of-memory condition occurred when creating a JavaScript global, a JavaScript realm may be     deleted while references to it lived on in a BaseShape. This could lead to a use-after-free causing a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and     Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45406)

  - Through a series of popups that reuse windowName, an attacker can cause a window to go fullscreen without     the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45408)

  - The garbage collector could have been aborted in several states and zones and     <code>GCRuntime::finishCollection</code> may not have been called, leading to a use-after-free and     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and     Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45409)

  - When a ServiceWorker intercepted a request with <code>FetchEvent</code>, the origin of the request was     lost after the ServiceWorker took ownership of it. This had the effect of negating SameSite cookie     protections. This was addressed in the spec and then in browsers. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR <     102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45410)

  - Cross-Site Tracing occurs when a server will echo a request back via the Trace method, allowing an XSS     attack to access to authorization headers and cookies inaccessible to JavaScript (such as cookies     protected by HTTPOnly). To mitigate this attack, browsers placed limits on <code>fetch()</code> and     XMLHttpRequest; however some webservers have implemented non-standard headers such as <code>X-Http-Method-     Override</code> that override the HTTP method, and made this attack possible again. Thunderbird has     applied the same mitigations to the use of this and similar headers. This vulnerability affects Firefox     ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45411)

  - When resolving a symlink such as <code>file:///proc/self/fd/1</code>, an error message may be produced     where the symlink was resolved to a string containing unitialized memory in the buffer. <br>*This bug only     affects Thunderbird on Unix-based operated systems (Android, Linux, MacOS). Windows is unaffected.*. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45412)

  - If a Thunderbird user quoted from an HTML email, for example by replying to the email, and the email     contained either a VIDEO tag with the POSTER attribute or an OBJECT tag with a DATA attribute, a network     request to the referenced remote URL was performed, regardless of a configuration to block remote content.
    An image loaded from the POSTER attribute was shown in the composer window. These issues could have given     an attacker additional capabilities when targetting releases that did not yet have a fix for CVE-2022-3033     which was reported around three months ago. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.5.1.
    (CVE-2022-45414)

  - Keyboard events reference strings like KeyA that were at fixed, known, and widely-spread addresses.
    Cache-based timing attacks such as Prime+Probe could have possibly figured out which keys were being     pressed. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
    (CVE-2022-45416)

  - If a custom mouse cursor is specified in CSS, under certain circumstances the cursor could have been drawn     over the browser UI, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45418)

  - Use tables inside of an iframe, an attacker could have caused iframe contents to be rendered outside the     boundaries of the iframe, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45420)

  - Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight and Gabriele Svelto reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird     102.4. 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 ESR < 102.5,     Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45421)

  - An out of date library (libusrsctp) contained vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 108. (CVE-2022-46871)

  - An attacker who compromised a content process could have partially escaped the sandbox to read arbitrary     files via clipboard-related IPC messages.<br>*This bug only affects Thunderbird for Linux. Other operating     systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird <     102.6. (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.<br/>*Note*: This issue was originally included in the advisories for Thunderbird 102.6,     but a patch (specific to Thunderbird) was omitted, resulting in it actually being fixed in Thunderbird     102.6.1. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108, Thunderbird < 102.6.1, Thunderbird < 102.6, and Firefox     ESR < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46874)

  - By confusing the browser, the fullscreen notification could have been delayed or suppressed, resulting in     potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108. (CVE-2022-46877)

  - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory     safety bugs present in Thunderbird 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. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 108, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46878)

  - A missing check related to tex units could have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable     crash.<br />*Note*: This advisory was added on December 13th, 2022 after we better understood the impact     of the issue. The fix was included in the original release of Firefox 105. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.6, Firefox < 105, and Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46880)

  - An optimization in WebGL was incorrect in some cases, and could have led to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 106, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and     Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46881)

  - A use-after-free in WebGL extensions could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 107, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46882)

  - Mozilla: Arbitrary file read from GTK drag and drop on Linux (CVE-2023-23598)

  - Mozilla: Malicious command could be hidden in devtools output (CVE-2023-23599)

  - Mozilla: URL being dragged from cross-origin iframe into same tab triggers navigation (CVE-2023-23601)

  - Mozilla: Content Security Policy wasn't being correctly applied to WebSockets in WebWorkers     (CVE-2023-23602)

  - Mozilla: Calls to <code>console.log</code> allowed bypasing Content Security Policy via format directive     (CVE-2023-23603)

  - Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 109 and Firefox ESR 102.7 (CVE-2023-23605)
