The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 81.0.4044.122 allowed a remote attacker to potentially     exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6463)

  - Inappropriate implementation in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 84.0.4147.89 allowed an attacker in a     privileged network position to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted SCTP stream.
    (CVE-2020-6514)

  - By observing the stack trace for JavaScript errors in web workers, it was possible to leak the result of a     cross-origin redirect. This applied only to content that can be parsed as script. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 79, Firefox ESR < 68.11, Firefox ESR < 78.1, Thunderbird < 68.11, and Thunderbird <     78.1. (CVE-2020-15652)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 78 and Firefox ESR     78.0. 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 < 79, Firefox     ESR < 68.11, Firefox ESR < 78.1, Thunderbird < 68.11, and Thunderbird < 78.1. (CVE-2020-15659)

  - Using object or embed tags, it was possible to frame other websites, even if they disallowed framing using     the X-Frame-Options header. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78 and Firefox < 78.0.2.
    (CVE-2020-15648)

  - In non-standard configurations, a JPEG image created by JavaScript could have caused an internal variable     to overflow, resulting in an out of bounds write, memory corruption, and a potentially exploitable crash.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78. (CVE-2020-12422)

  - When constructing a permission prompt for WebRTC, a URI was supplied from the content process. This URI     was untrusted, and could have been the URI of an origin that was previously granted permission; bypassing     the prompt. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78. (CVE-2020-12424)

  - Due to confusion processing a hyphen character in Date.parse(), a one-byte out of bounds read could have     occurred, leading to potential information disclosure. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78.
    (CVE-2020-12425)

  - An iframe sandbox element with the allow-popups flag could be bypassed when using noopener links. This     could have led to security issues for websites relying on sandbox configurations that allowed popups and     hosted arbitrary content. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and Thunderbird <     78.1. (CVE-2020-15653)

  - JIT optimizations involving the Javascript arguments object could confuse later optimizations. This risk     was already mitigated by various precautions in the code, resulting in this bug rated at only moderate     severity. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and Thunderbird < 78.1.
    (CVE-2020-15656)

  - The code for downloading files did not properly take care of special characters, which led to an attacker     being able to cut off the file ending at an earlier position, leading to a different file type being     downloaded than shown in the dialog. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and     Thunderbird < 78.1. (CVE-2020-15658)

  - When in an endless loop, a website specifying a custom cursor using CSS could make it look like the user     is interacting with the user interface, when they are not. This could lead to a perceived broken state,     especially when interactions with existing browser dialogs and warnings do not work. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and Thunderbird < 78.1. (CVE-2020-15654)

  - By holding a reference to the eval() function from an about:blank window, a malicious webpage could have     gained access to the InstallTrigger object which would allow them to prompt the user to install an     extension. Combined with user confusion, this could result in an unintended or malicious extension being     installed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80, Thunderbird < 78.2, Thunderbird < 68.12, Firefox ESR <     68.12, Firefox ESR < 78.2, and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-15664)

  - When aborting an operation, such as a fetch, an abort signal may be deleted while alerting the objects to     be notified. This results in a use-after-free and we presume that with enough effort it could have been     exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.12 and Thunderbird < 68.12.
    (CVE-2020-15669)

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 MAIN 6.02, has thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Due to confusion about ValueTags on JavaScript Objects, an object may pass through the type barrier,     resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. *Note: this issue only affects Firefox     on ARM64 platforms.* This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.10, Firefox < 78, and Thunderbird <     68.10.0. (CVE-2020-12417)

  - Manipulating individual parts of a URL object could have caused an out-of-bounds read, leaking process     memory to malicious JavaScript. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.10, Firefox < 78, and     Thunderbird < 68.10.0. (CVE-2020-12418)

  - When processing callbacks that occurred during window flushing in the parent process, the associated     window may die; causing a use-after-free condition. This could have led to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.10, Firefox < 78, and     Thunderbird < 68.10.0. (CVE-2020-12419)

  - When trying to connect to a STUN server, a race condition could have caused a use-after-free of a pointer,     leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR <     68.10, Firefox < 78, and Thunderbird < 68.10.0. (CVE-2020-12420)

  - When performing add-on updates, certificate chains terminating in non-built-in-roots were rejected (even     if they were legitimately added by an administrator.) This could have caused add-ons to become out-of-date     silently without notification to the user. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.10, Firefox < 78,     and Thunderbird < 68.10.0. (CVE-2020-12421)

  - Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 81.0.4044.122 allowed a remote attacker to potentially     exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6463)

    (CVE-2020-15669)

  - If an attacker intercepts Thunderbird's initial attempt to perform automatic account setup using the     Microsoft Exchange autodiscovery mechanism, and the attacker sends a crafted response, then Thunderbird     sends username and password over https to a server controlled by the attacker. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 68.10.0. (CVE-2020-15646)

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 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 78.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-38 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Jason Kratzer, Christian Holler, and Byron Campen reported memory safety bugs present     in Firefox 79 and Firefox ESR 78.1. 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. (CVE-2020-15670)

  - If Firefox is installed to a user-writable directory, the Mozilla Maintenance Service would execute     updater.exe from the install location with system privileges. Although the Mozilla Maintenance Service     does ensure that updater.exe is signed by Mozilla, the version could have been rolled back to a previous     version which would have allowed exploitation of an older bug and arbitrary code execution with System     Privileges. Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are     unaffected. (CVE-2020-15663)

  - By holding a reference to the <code>eval()</code> function from an about:blank window, a malicious webpage     could have gained access to the InstallTrigger object which would allow them to prompt the user to install     an extension. Combined with user confusion, this could result in an unintended or malicious extension     being installed. (CVE-2020-15664)
