The version of Mozilla Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 60.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, some of which allow code execution and potentially exploitable crashes.

The version of Mozilla Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 60.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

This update for Mozilla Thunderbird to version 60.2.1 fixes multiple issues.

Multiple security issues were fixed in the Mozilla platform as advised in MFSA 2018-25. In general, these flaws cannot be exploited through email in Thunderbird because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially risks in browser or browser-like contexts :

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3705-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, read     uninitialized memory, bypass same-origin restrictions, bypass CORS restrictions, bypass CSRF protections,     obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5156, CVE-2018-5186, CVE-2018-5187,     CVE-2018-5188, CVE-2018-12358, CVE-2018-12359, CVE-2018-12360, CVE-2018-12361, CVE-2018-12362,     CVE-2018-12363, CVE-2018-12364, CVE-2018-12365, CVE-2018-12366, CVE-2018-12367, CVE-2018-12370,     CVE-2018-12371)

    A security issue was discovered with WebExtensions. If a user were tricked in to installing a specially     crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain full browser permissions.
    (CVE-2018-12369)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201810-01 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox. Please       review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore,       a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks,       obtain sensitive information, spoof the address bar, conduct clickjacking       attacks, bypass security restrictions and protection mechanisms, or have       other unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
