The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Encrypted S/MIME parts in a crafted     multipart/alternative message can leak plaintext when     included in a a HTML reply/forward. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 68.1 and Thunderbird < 60.9.
    (CVE-2019-11739)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR 68, and     Firefox 60.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of     memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort     that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR <     60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11740)

  - A same-origin policy violation occurs allowing the theft     of cross-origin images through a combination of SVG     filters and a <canvas> element due to an error in     how same-origin policy is applied to cached image     content. The resulting same-origin policy violation     could allow for data theft. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9,     Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
    (CVE-2019-11742)

  - Navigation events were not fully adhering to the W3C's     Navigation-Timing Level 2 draft specification in some     instances for the unload event, which restricts access     to detailed timing attributes to only be same-origin.
    This resulted in potential cross-origin information     exposure of history through timing side-channel attacks.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird <     68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and     Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11743)

  - Some HTML elements, such as <title> and     <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets     without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass     a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements,     and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if     it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site     does not filter user input as strictly for these     elements as it does for other elements. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1,     Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR     < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11744)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while     manipulating video elements if the body is freed while     still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR <     60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11746)

  - It is possible to delete an IndexedDB key value and     subsequently try to extract it during conversion. This     results in a use-after-free and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR     < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11752)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - When a master password is set, it is required to be     entered again before stored passwords can be accessed in     the 'Saved Logins' dialog. It was found that locally     stored passwords can be copied to the clipboard thorough     the 'copy password' context menu item without re-     entering the master password if the master password had     been previously entered in the same session, allowing     for potential theft of stored passwords. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 68.0.2 and Firefox ESR <     68.0.2. (CVE-2019-11733)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR 68, and     Firefox 60.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of     memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort     that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR <     60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11740)

This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9,     Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.

    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird <     68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and     Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11743)

  - Some HTML elements, such as <title> and     <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets     without treating them as markup.

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while     manipulating video elements if the body is freed while     still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR <     60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11746)

  - It is possible to delete an IndexedDB key value and     subsequently try to extract it during conversion. This     results in a use-after-free and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR     < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11752)

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-26 advisory.

  - Given a compromised sandboxed content process due to a separate vulnerability, it is possible to escape     that sandbox by loading <code>accounts.firefox.com</code> in that process and forcing a log-in to a     malicious Firefox Sync account. Preference settings that disable the sandbox are then synchronized to the     local machine and the compromised browser would restart without the sandbox if a crash is triggered.
    (CVE-2019-9812)

  - It is possible to delete an IndexedDB key value and subsequently try to extract it during conversion. This     results in a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-11752)

  - Logging-related command line parameters are not properly sanitized when Firefox is launched by another     program, such as when a user clicks on malicious links in a chat application. This can be used to write a     log file to an arbitrary location such as the Windows 'Startup' folder.  Note: this issue only affects     Firefox on Windows operating systems. (CVE-2019-11751)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while manipulating video elements if the body is freed while     still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-11746)

  - Some HTML elements, such as <code><title></code> and <code><textarea></code>, can contain     literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to     <code>.innerHTML</code> on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were     outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements     as it does for other elements. (CVE-2019-11744)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR     68, and Firefox 60.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with     enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
    (CVE-2019-11740)
