The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-1488 advisory.

  - Under certain conditions, when handling a ReadableStream, a race condition can cause a use-after-free. We     are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     68.7.0, Firefox < 74.0.1, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.1. (CVE-2020-6820)

  - When reading from areas partially or fully outside the source resource with WebGL's     <code>copyTexSubImage</code> method, the specification requires the returned values be zero. Previously,     this memory was uninitialized, leading to potentially sensitive data disclosure. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75. (CVE-2020-6821)

  - Under certain conditions, when running the nsDocShell destructor, a race condition can cause a use-after-     free. We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox < 74.0.1, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.1. (CVE-2020-6819)

  - On 32-bit builds, an out of bounds write could have occurred when processing an image larger than 4 GB in     <code>GMPDecodeData</code>. It is possible that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run     arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75.
    (CVE-2020-6822)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Tyson Smith and Christian Holler reported memory safety bugs     present in Firefox 74 and Firefox ESR 68.6. 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 < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75. (CVE-2020-6825)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4335-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, bypass same-origin restrictions,     conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11757, CVE-2019-11758,     CVE-2019-11759, CVE-2019-11760, CVE-2019-11761, CVE-2019-11762, CVE-2019-11763, CVE-2019-11764,     CVE-2019-17005, CVE-2019-17008, CVE-2019-17010, CVE-2019-17011, CVE-2019-17012, CVE-2019-17016,     CVE-2019-17017, CVE-2019-17022, CVE-2019-17024, CVE-2019-17026, CVE-2019-20503, CVE-2020-6798,     CVE-2020-6800, CVE-2020-6805, CVE-2020-6806, CVE-2020-6807, CVE-2020-6812, CVE-2020-6814, CVE-2020-6819,     CVE-2020-6820, CVE-2020-6821, CVE-2020-6825)

    It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could     potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11745)

    It was discovered that a specially crafted S/MIME message with an inner encryption layer could be     displayed as having a valid signature in some circumstances, even if the signer had no access to the     encrypted message. An attacker could potentially exploit this to spoof the message author.
    (CVE-2019-11755)

    A heap overflow was discovered in the expat library in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-15903)

    It was discovered that Message ID calculation was based on uninitialized data. An attacker could     potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-6792)

    Mutiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6793, CVE-2020-6795, CVE-2020-6822)

    It was discovered that if a user saved passwords before Thunderbird 60 and then later set a primary     password, an unencrypted copy of these passwords would still be accessible. A local user could exploit     this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-6794)

    It was discovered that the Devtools Copy as cURL feature did not fully escape website-controlled     data. If a user were tricked in to using the Copy as cURL feature to copy and paste a command with     specially crafted data in to a terminal, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary     commands via command injection. (CVE-2020-6811)
