Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2023:0288 advisory.

 - Mozilla: libusrsctp library out of date (CVE-2022-46871)

 - Mozilla: Fullscreen notification bypass (CVE-2022-46877)

 - 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)

 - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6. 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 < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
 (CVE-2023-23605)

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

Solution
