FreeBSD : Mozilla -- memory corruption (4f17db64-30bd-11f0-81be-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 236768

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 4f17db64-30bd-11f0-81be-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 Memory safety bug present in Firefox ESR 128.9, and Thunderbird 128.9. This bug showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
