The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:6708 advisory.

  - When receiving an HTML email that contained an <code>iframe</code> element, which used a     <code>srcdoc</code> attribute to define the inner HTML document, remote objects specified in the nested     document, for example images or videos, were not blocked. Rather, the network was accessed, the objects     were loaded and displayed. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1.
    (CVE-2022-3032)

  - If a Thunderbird user replied to a crafted HTML email containing a <code>meta</code> tag, with the     <code>meta</code> tag having the <code>http-equiv=refresh</code> attribute, and the content attribute     specifying an URL, then Thunderbird started a network request to that URL, regardless of the configuration     to block remote content. In combination with certain other HTML elements and attributes in the email, it     was possible to execute JavaScript code included in the message in the context of the message compose     document. The JavaScript code was able to perform actions including, but probably not limited to, read and     modify the contents of the message compose document, including the quoted original message, which could     potentially contain the decrypted plaintext of encrypted data in the crafted email. The contents could     then be transmitted to the network, either to the URL specified in the META refresh tag, or to a different     URL, as the JavaScript code could modify the URL specified in the document. This bug doesn't affect users     who have changed the default Message Body display setting to 'simple html' or 'plain text'. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1. (CVE-2022-3033)

  - When receiving an HTML email that specified to load an <code>iframe</code> element from a remote location,     a request to the remote document was sent. However, Thunderbird didn't display the document. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1. (CVE-2022-3034)

  - matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. In versions prior to 19.4.0     events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from     functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the     matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to     the consumer. This issue has been fixed in matrix-js-sdk 19.4.0 and users are advised to upgrade. Users     unable to upgrade may mitigate this issue by redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor     to store data, and restarting the client. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events and clearing all     storage will often fix most perceived issues. In some cases, no workarounds are possible. (CVE-2022-36059)

  - When injecting an HTML base element, some requests would ignore the CSP's base-uri settings and accept the     injected element's base instead. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40956)

  - Inconsistent data in instruction and data cache when creating wasm code could lead to a potentially     exploitable crash.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on ARM64 platforms.*. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40957)

  - By injecting a cookie with certain special characters, an attacker on a shared subdomain which is not a     secure context could set and thus overwrite cookies from a secure context, leading to session fixation and     other attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105.
    (CVE-2022-40958)

  - During iframe navigation, certain pages did not have their FeaturePolicy fully initialized leading to a     bypass that leaked device permissions into untrusted subdocuments. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR     < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40959)

  - Concurrent use of the URL parser with non-UTF-8 data was not thread-safe. This could lead to a use-after-     free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird     < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40960)

  - Mozilla developers Nika Layzell, Timothy Nikkel, Sebastian Hengst, Andreas Pehrson, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 104 and Firefox ESR 102.2. 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 < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40962)

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