The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202208-38 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - An attacker could have abused XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another     origin which was displayed in the address bar. This could have been used to fool the user into submitting     data intended for the spoofed origin.  (CVE-2022-38472)

  - Mozilla: Cross-origin XSLT Documents would have inherited the parent's permissions (CVE-2022-38473)

  - A data race could occur in the <code>PK11ChangePW</code> function, potentially leading to a use-after-free     vulnerability.  In Thunderbird, this lock protected the data when a user changed their master password.
    (CVE-2022-38476)

  - Mozilla developer Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in     Thunderbird 102.1. 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-2022-38477)

  - Members the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.1 and Thunderbird     91.12. 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.  (CVE-2022-38478)

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:6169 advisory.

  - An attacker could have abused XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another     origin which was displayed in the address bar. This could have been used to fool the user into submitting     data intended for the spoofed origin. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2, Thunderbird < 91.13,     Firefox ESR < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 102.2, and Firefox < 104. (CVE-2022-38472)

  - A cross-origin iframe referencing an XSLT document would inherit the parent domain's permissions (such as     microphone or camera access). This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2, Thunderbird < 91.13, Firefox     ESR < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 102.2, and Firefox < 104. (CVE-2022-38473)

  - A data race could occur in the <code>PK11_ChangePW</code> function, potentially leading to a use-after-     free vulnerability. In Firefox, this lock protected the data when a user changed their master password.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.2 and Thunderbird < 102.2. (CVE-2022-38476)

  - Mozilla developer Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox     103 and Firefox ESR 102.1.
