The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 74.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-08 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Jason Kratzer, Boris Zbarsky, Tyson Smith, and Alexandru Michis reported memory safety     and script safety bugs present in Firefox 73. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption or     escalation of privilege and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to     run arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6815)

  - When removing data about an origin whose tab was recently closed, a use-after-free could occur in the     Quota manager, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6805)

  - By carefully crafting promise resolutions, it was possible to cause an out-of-bounds read off the end of     an array resized during script execution. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6806)

  - When a device was changed while a stream was about to be destroyed, the <code>stream-reinit</code> task     may have been executed after the stream was destroyed, causing a use-after-free and a potentially     exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6807)

  - When a JavaScript URL (javascript:) is evaluated and the result is a string, this string is parsed to     create an HTML document, which is then presented. Previously, this document's URL (as reported by the     document.location property, for example) was the originating javascript: URL which could lead to spoofing     attacks; it is now correctly the URL of the originating document. (CVE-2020-6808)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - When removing data about an origin whose tab was recently closed, a use-after-free could occur in the     Quota manager, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6. (CVE-2020-6805)

  - By carefully crafting promise resolutions, it was possible to cause an out-of-bounds read off the end of     an array resized during script execution. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and     Firefox ESR < 68.6. (CVE-2020-6806)

  - The 'Copy as cURL' feature of Devtools' network tab did not properly escape the HTTP method of a request,     which can be controlled by the website. If a user used the 'Copy as Curl' feature and pasted the command     into a terminal, it could have resulted in command injection and arbitrary command execution. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.
    (CVE-2020-6811)

  - usrsctp before 2019-12-20 has out-of-bounds reads in sctp_load_addresses_from_init. (CVE-2019-20503)

  - The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default     (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device     names, disclosing the user's name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames     devices containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6. (CVE-2020-6812)

  - When a device was changed while a stream was about to be destroyed, the stream-reinit task     may have been executed after the stream was destroyed, causing a use-after-free and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and     Firefox ESR < 68.6. (CVE-2020-6807)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox and Thunderbird 68.5. 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 Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox <     ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6. (CVE-2020-6814)
