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

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)

  - It was possible to construct specific XSLT markup that would be able to bypass an iframe sandbox. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2021-4140)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - During operations on MessageTasks, a task may have been removed while it was still scheduled, resulting in     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.15,     Thunderbird < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 91.2, Firefox ESR < 78.15, and Firefox < 93. (CVE-2021-38496)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1302 advisory.

  - <code>NSSToken</code> objects were referenced via direct points, and could have been accessed in an unsafe     way on different threads, leading to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8, Firefox < 99, and Firefox ESR < 91.8. (CVE-2022-1097)

  - After a VR Process is destroyed, a reference to it may have been retained and used, leading to a use-     after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8 and Firefox     ESR < 91.8. (CVE-2022-1196)

  - When importing a revoked key that specified key compromise as the revocation reason, Thunderbird did not     update the existing copy of the key that was not yet revoked, and the existing key was kept as non-     revoked. Revocation statements that used another revocation reason, or that didn't specify a revocation     reason, were unaffected. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8. (CVE-2022-1197)

  - regex is an implementation of regular expressions for the Rust language. The regex crate features built-in     mitigations to prevent denial of service attacks caused by untrusted regexes, or untrusted input matched     by trusted regexes. Those (tunable) mitigations already provide sane defaults to prevent attacks. This     guarantee is documented and it's considered part of the crate's API. Unfortunately a bug was discovered in     the mitigations designed to prevent untrusted regexes to take an arbitrary amount of time during parsing,     and it's possible to craft regexes that bypass such mitigations. This makes it possible to perform denial     of service attacks by sending specially crafted regexes to services accepting user-controlled, untrusted     regexes. All versions of the regex crate before or equal to 1.5.4 are affected by this issue. The fix is     include starting from regex 1.5.5. All users accepting user-controlled regexes are recommended to upgrade     immediately to the latest version of the regex crate. Unfortunately there is no fixed set of problematic     regexes, as there are practically infinite regexes that could be crafted to exploit this vulnerability.
    Because of this, it us not recommend to deny known problematic regexes. (CVE-2022-24713)

  - If a compromised content process sent an unexpected number of WebAuthN Extensions in a Register command to     the parent process, an out of bounds write would have occurred leading to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8, Firefox < 99, and Firefox     ESR < 91.8. (CVE-2022-28281)

  - By using a link with <code>rel=localization</code> a use-after-free could have been triggered by     destroying an object during JavaScript execution and then referencing the object through a freed pointer,     leading to a potential exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8, Firefox < 99, and     Firefox ESR < 91.8. (CVE-2022-28282)

  - When generating the assembly code for <code>MLoadTypedArrayElementHole</code>, an incorrect AliasSet was     used. In conjunction with another vulnerability this could have been used for an out of bounds memory     read. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8, Firefox < 99, and Firefox ESR < 91.8.
    (CVE-2022-28285)

  - Due to a layout change, iframe contents could have been rendered outside of its border. This could have     led to user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.8, Firefox < 99,     and Firefox ESR < 91.8. (CVE-2022-28286)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Nika Layzell, Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 91.7. 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 < 91.8, Firefox < 99, and Firefox ESR < 91.8.
    (CVE-2022-28289)

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

  - Mozilla developers and community members Nika Layzell, Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 98 and Firefox ESR 91.7. 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-2022-28289)

  - The rust regex crate did not properly prevent crafted regular expressions from taking an arbitrary amount     of time during parsing. If an attacker was able to supply input to this crate, they could have caused a     denial of service in the browser. (CVE-2022-24713)

  - <code>NSSToken</code> objects were referenced via direct points, and could have been accessed in an unsafe     way on different threads, leading to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-1097)

  - If a compromised content process sent an unexpected number of WebAuthN Extensions in a Register command to     the parent process, an out of bounds write would have occurred leading to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-28281)

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5393-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, conduct spoofing attacks, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1097, CVE-2022-1196,     CVE-2022-28281, CVE-2022-28282, CVE-2022-28285, CVE-2022-28286, CVE-2022-28289)

    It was discovered that Thunderbird ignored OpenPGP revocation when importing a revoked key in some     circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this by tricking the user into trusting the     authenticity of a message or tricking them into use a revoked key to send an encrypted message.
