The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5954-1 advisory.

  - Under certain circumstances, a ServiceWorker's offline cache may have leaked to the file system when using     private browsing mode.  (CVE-2023-25750)

  - Sometimes, when invalidating JIT code while following an iterator, the newly generated code could be     overwritten incorrectly. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-25751)

  - When accessing throttled streams, the count of available bytes needed to be checked in the calling     function to be within bounds. This may have lead future code to be incorrect and vulnerable.
    (CVE-2023-25752)

  - When following a redirect to a publicly accessible web extension file, the URL may have been translated to     the actual local path, leaking potentially sensitive information.  (CVE-2023-28160)

  - If temporary one-time permissions, such as the ability to use the Camera, were granted to a document     loaded using a file: URL, that permission persisted in that tab for all other documents loaded from a     file: URL. This is potentially dangerous if the local files came from different sources, such as in a     download directory.  (CVE-2023-28161)

  - While implementing AudioWorklets, some code may have casted one type to another, invalid, dynamic type.
    This could have led to a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-28162)

  - Dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe that was removed during the drag could have led to user     confusion and website spoofing attacks.  (CVE-2023-28164)

  - Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety     bugs present in Thunderbird 102.8. 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-2023-28176)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Calixte Denizet, Gabriele Svelto, Andrew McCreight, and the     Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 110. 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-2023-28177)

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