The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 91.10.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2023-011 advisory.

  - The parent process would not properly check whether the Speech Synthesis feature is enabled, when     receiving instructions from a child process. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9.
    (CVE-2022-29913)

  - A malicious website could have learned the size of a cross-origin resource that supported Range requests.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31736)

  - A malicious webpage could have caused an out-of-bounds write in WebGL, leading to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox     ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31737)

  - When exiting fullscreen mode, an iframe could have confused the browser about the current state of     fullscreen, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31738)

  - On arm64, WASM code could have resulted in incorrect assembly generation leading to a register allocation     problem, and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox <     101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31740)

  - A crafted CMS message could have been processed incorrectly, leading to an invalid memory read, and     potentially further memory corruption. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and     Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31741)

  - An attacker could have exploited a timing attack by sending a large number of allowCredential entries and     detecting the difference between invalid key handles and cross-origin key handles. This could have led to     cross-origin account linking in violation of WebAuthn goals. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31742)

  - Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.9. 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 Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10.
    (CVE-2022-31747)
