The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 103.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-28 advisory.

  - When combining CSS properties for overflow and transform, the mouse cursor could interact with different     coordinates than displayed. (CVE-2022-36319)

  - When visiting a website with an overly long URL, the user interface would start to hang. Due to session     restore, this could lead to a permanent Denial of Service. This bug only affects Firefox for Android.
    Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2022-36317)

  - When visiting directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected.
    (CVE-2022-36318)

  - When opening a Windows shortcut from the local filesystem, an attacker could supply a remote path that     would lead to unexpected network requests from the operating system. This bug only affects Firefox for     Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2022-36314)

  - When loading a script with Subresource Integrity, attackers with an injection capability could trigger the     reuse of previously cached entries with incorrect, different integrity metadata. (CVE-2022-36315)

  - When using the Performance API, an attacker was able to notice subtle differences between     PerformanceEntries and thus learn whether the target URL had been subject to a redirect. (CVE-2022-36316)

  - Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 102. 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-2022-2505, CVE-2022-36320)

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

The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 91.13.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1855 advisory.

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of Mozilla     developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reporting memory safety bugs in Firefox 102. 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-2022-2505)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when visiting     directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected. (CVE-2022-36318)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3273-1 advisory.

  - If an object prototype was corrupted by an attacker, they would have been able to set undesired attributes     on a JavaScript object, leading to privileged code execution. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102,     Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-2200)

  - Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 102. 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 < 102.1, Firefox <     103, and Thunderbird < 102.1. (CVE-2022-2505)

  - An iframe that was not permitted to run scripts could do so if the user clicked on a     <code>javascript:</code> link. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird     < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34468)

  - When a TLS Certificate error occurs on a domain protected by the HSTS header, the browser should not allow     the user to bypass the certificate error. On Firefox for Android, the user was presented with the option     to bypass the error; this could only have been done by the user explicitly. <br>*This bug only affects     Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102.
    (CVE-2022-34469)

  - Session history navigations may have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11.
    (CVE-2022-34470)

  - When downloading an update for an addon, the downloaded addon update's version was not verified to match     the version selected from the manifest. If the manifest had been tampered with on the server, an attacker     could trick the browser into downgrading the addon to a prior version. This vulnerability affects Firefox     < 102. (CVE-2022-34471)

  - If there was a PAC URL set and the server that hosts the PAC was not reachable, OCSP requests would have     been blocked, resulting in incorrect error pages being shown. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102,     Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34472)

  - The HTML Sanitizer should have sanitized the <code>href</code> attribute of SVG <code><use></code>     tags; however it incorrectly did not sanitize <code>xlink:href</code> attributes. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34473)

  - Even when an iframe was sandboxed with <code>allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation</code>, if it     received a redirect header to an external protocol the browser would process the redirect and prompt the     user as appropriate. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34474)

  - SVG <code><use></code> tags that referenced a same-origin document could have resulted in script     execution if attacker input was sanitized via the HTML Sanitizer API. This would have required the     attacker to reference a same-origin JavaScript file containing the script to be executed. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34475)

  - ASN.1 parsing of an indefinite SEQUENCE inside an indefinite GROUP could have resulted in the parser     accepting malformed ASN.1. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34476)

  - The MediaError message property should be consistent to avoid leaking information about cross-origin     resources; however for a same-site cross-origin resource, the message could have leaked information     enabling XS-Leaks attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34477)

  - The <code>ms-msdt</code>, <code>search</code>, and <code>search-ms</code> protocols deliver content to     Microsoft applications, bypassing the browser, when a user accepts a prompt. These applications have had     known vulnerabilities, exploited in the wild (although we know of none exploited through Thunderbird), so     in this release Thunderbird has blocked these protocols from prompting the user to open them.<br>*This bug     only affects Thunderbird on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34478)

  - A malicious website that could create a popup could have resized the popup to overlay the address bar with     its own content, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. <br>*This bug only affects     Thunderbird for Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102,     Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34479)

  - Within the <code>lg_init()</code> function, if several allocations succeed but then one fails, an     uninitialized pointer would have been freed despite never being allocated. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34480)

  - In the <code>nsTArray_Impl::ReplaceElementsAt()</code> function, an integer overflow could have occurred     when the number of elements to replace was too large for the container. This vulnerability affects Firefox     < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11, Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34481)

  - An attacker who could have convinced a user to drag and drop an image to a filesystem could have     manipulated the resulting filename to contain an executable extension, and by extension potentially     tricked the user into executing malicious code. While very similar, this is a separate issue from     CVE-2022-34483. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34482)

  - An attacker who could have convinced a user to drag and drop an image to a filesystem could have     manipulated the resulting filename to contain an executable extension, and by extension potentially     tricked the user into executing malicious code. While very similar, this is a separate issue from     CVE-2022-34482. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 102. (CVE-2022-34483)

  - The Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported potential vulnerabilities present in Thunderbird 91.10. 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 < 102, Firefox ESR < 91.11,     Thunderbird < 102, and Thunderbird < 91.11. (CVE-2022-34484)

  - Mozilla developers Bryce Seager van Dyk and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported potential vulnerabilities     present in Firefox 101. 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 < 102. (CVE-2022-34485)

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

  - 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)

  - 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. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 93, Thunderbird < 91.2, and Firefox ESR < 91.2. (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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 93,     Thunderbird < 91.2, and Firefox ESR < 91.2. (CVE-2021-38498)
