The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5037-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information, trick a user into accepting unwanted permissions, or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

  - Uninitialized memory in a canvas object could have caused an incorrect free() leading to memory corruption     and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.13, Thunderbird < 91,     Firefox ESR < 78.13, and Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29980)

  - An issue present in lowering/register allocation could have led to obscure but deterministic register     confusion failures in JITted code that would lead to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 91 and Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29981)

  - Due to incorrect JIT optimization, we incorrectly interpreted data from the wrong type of object,     resulting in the potential leak of a single bit of memory. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and     Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29982)

  - Firefox for Android could get stuck in fullscreen mode and not exit it even after normal interactions that     should cause it to exit. *Note: This issue only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are     unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29983)

  - Instruction reordering resulted in a sequence of instructions that would cause an object to be incorrectly     considered during garbage collection. This led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.13, Thunderbird < 91, Firefox ESR < 78.13, and Firefox < 91.
    (CVE-2021-29984)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in media channels could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.13, Thunderbird < 91, Firefox ESR < 78.13,     and Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29985)

  - A suspected race condition when calling getaddrinfo led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable     crash. *Note: This issue only affected Linux operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.*     This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.13, Thunderbird < 91, Firefox ESR < 78.13, and Firefox < 91.
    (CVE-2021-29986)

  - After requesting multiple permissions, and closing the first permission panel, subsequent permission     panels will be displayed in a different position but still record a click in the default location, making     it possible to trick a user into accepting a permission they did not want to. *This bug only affects     Firefox on Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and     Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29987)

  - Firefox incorrectly treated an inline list-item element as a block element, resulting in an out of bounds     read or memory corruption, and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     78.13, Thunderbird < 91, Firefox ESR < 78.13, and Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29988)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 90 and Firefox ESR 78.12. 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 < 78.13, Firefox ESR < 78.13,     and Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29989)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 90. 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 < 91. (CVE-2021-29990)

  - Firefox incorrectly accepted a newline in a HTTP/3 header, interpretting it as two separate headers. This     allowed for a header splitting attack against servers using HTTP/3. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     91.0.1 and Thunderbird < 91.0.1. (CVE-2021-29991)

  - crossbeam-deque is a package of work-stealing deques for building task schedulers when programming in     Rust. In versions prior to 0.7.4 and 0.8.0, the result of the race condition is that one or more tasks in     the worker queue can be popped twice instead of other tasks that are forgotten and never popped. If tasks     are allocated on the heap, this can cause double free and a memory leak. If not, this still can cause a     logical bug. Crates using `Stealer::steal`, `Stealer::steal_batch`, or `Stealer::steal_batch_and_pop` are     affected by this issue. This has been fixed in crossbeam-deque 0.8.1 and 0.7.4. (CVE-2021-32810)

  - When delegating navigations to the operating system, Firefox would accept the `mk` scheme which might     allow attackers to launch pages and execute scripts in Internet Explorer in unprivileged mode. *This bug     only affects Firefox for Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 92, Thunderbird < 91.1, Thunderbird < 78.14, Firefox ESR < 78.14, and Firefox ESR < 91.1.
    (CVE-2021-38492)

Crates using `Stealer::steal`, `Stealer::steal_batch`, or `Stealer::steal_batch_and_pop` are     affected by this issue. This has been fixed in crossbeam-deque 0.8.1 and 0.7.4. (CVE-2021-32810)

  - When delegating navigations to the operating system, Firefox would accept the `mk` scheme which might     allow attackers to launch pages and execute scripts in Internet Explorer in unprivileged mode. This     bug only affects Firefox for Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.  (CVE-2021-38492)

  - Mozilla developers Tyson Smith, Christian Holler, and Gabriele Svelto reported memory safety bugs present     in Thunderbird 78.13.0. 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.  (CVE-2021-38495)

  - During operations on MessageTasks, a task may have been removed while it was still scheduled, resulting in     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2021-38496)

  - Through use of reportValidity() and window.open(), a plain-text validation     message could have been overlaid on another origin, leading to possible user confusion and spoofing     attacks.  (CVE-2021-38497)

  - During process shutdown, a document could have caused a use-after-free of a languages service object,     leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2021-38498)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Andreas Pehrson and Christian Holler reported memory safety bugs     present in Firefox 92 and Firefox ESR 91.1. 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-2021-38500)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Kevin Brosnan, Mihai Alexandru Michis, and Christian Holler     reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 92 and Firefox ESR 91.1. 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-2021-38501)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202202-03 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

  - A malicious webpage could have triggered a use-after-free, memory corruption, and a potentially     exploitable crash. *This bug could only be triggered when accessibility was enabled.*. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 78.12, Firefox ESR < 78.12, and Firefox < 90. (CVE-2021-29970)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found via testing, and traced to an out-of-date Cairo library. Updating     the library resolved the issue, and may have remediated other, unknown security vulnerabilities as well.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 90. (CVE-2021-29972)

  - When network partitioning was enabled, e.g. as a result of Enhanced Tracking Protection settings, a TLS     error page would allow the user to override an error on a domain which had specified HTTP Strict Transport     Security (which implies that the error should not be override-able.) This issue did not affect the network     connections, and they were correctly upgraded to HTTPS automatically. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     90. (CVE-2021-29974)

  - Through a series of DOM manipulations, a message, over which the attacker had control of the text but not     HTML or formatting, could be overlaid on top of another domain (with the new domain correctly shown in the     address bar) resulting in possible user confusion. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 90.
    (CVE-2021-29975)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in code shared between Firefox and Thunderbird.
    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 < 78.12,     Firefox ESR < 78.12, and Firefox < 90. (CVE-2021-29976)

    (CVE-2021-29986)

  - After requesting multiple permissions, and closing the first permission panel, subsequent permission     panels will be displayed in a different position but still record a click in the default location, making     it possible to trick a user into accepting a permission they did not want to. *This bug only affects     Firefox on Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and     Thunderbird < 91. (CVE-2021-29987)

  - Firefox incorrectly treated an inline list-item element as a block element, resulting in an out of bounds     read or memory corruption, and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     78.13, Thunderbird < 91, Firefox ESR < 78.13, and Firefox < 91. (CVE-2021-29988)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 90 and Firefox ESR 78.12.

  - Mixed-content checks were unable to analyze opaque origins which led to some mixed content being loaded.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 92. (CVE-2021-38491)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 91 and Firefox ESR 78.13. 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 ESR < 78.14, Thunderbird < 78.14,     and Firefox < 92. (CVE-2021-38493)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 78.13.0. 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 Thunderbird < 91.1 and Firefox ESR < 91.1.
    (CVE-2021-38495)

  - The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass     restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38503)

  - Through a series of navigations, Firefox could have entered fullscreen mode without notification or     warning to the user. This could lead to spoofing attacks on the browser UI including phishing. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38506)

  - The Opportunistic Encryption feature of HTTP2 (RFC 8164) allows a connection to be transparently upgraded     to TLS while retaining the visual properties of an HTTP connection, including being same-origin with     unencrypted connections on port 80. However, if a second encrypted port on the same IP address (e.g. port     8443) did not opt-in to opportunistic encryption; a network attacker could forward a connection from the     browser to port 443 to port 8443, causing the browser to treat the content of port 8443 as same-origin     with HTTP. This was resolved by disabling the Opportunistic Encryption feature, which had low usage. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38507)

  - By displaying a form validity message in the correct location at the same time as a permission prompt     (such as for geolocation), the validity message could have obscured the prompt, resulting in the user     potentially being tricked into granting the permission. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94,     Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3. (CVE-2021-38508)

  - Due to an unusual sequence of attacker-controlled events, a Javascript alert() dialog with arbitrary     (although unstyled) contents could be displayed over top an uncontrolled webpage of the attacker's     choosing.
