The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3441-1 advisory.

  - When injecting an HTML base element, some requests would ignore the CSP's base-uri settings and accept the     injected element's base instead. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40956)

  - Inconsistent data in instruction and data cache when creating wasm code could lead to a potentially     exploitable crash.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on ARM64 platforms.*. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40957)

  - By injecting a cookie with certain special characters, an attacker on a shared subdomain which is not a     secure context could set and thus overwrite cookies from a secure context, leading to session fixation and     other attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105.
    (CVE-2022-40958)

  - During iframe navigation, certain pages did not have their FeaturePolicy fully initialized leading to a     bypass that leaked device permissions into untrusted subdocuments. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR     < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40959)

  - Concurrent use of the URL parser with non-UTF-8 data was not thread-safe. This could lead to a use-after-     free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird     < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40960)

  - Mozilla developers Nika Layzell, Timothy Nikkel, Sebastian Hengst, Andreas Pehrson, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 104 and Firefox ESR 102.2. 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 < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40962)

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

The remote Scientific Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SLSA-2022:6711-1 advisory.

  - Mozilla: Bypassing Secure Context restriction for cookies with __Host and  __Secure prefix     (CVE-2022-40958)

  - Mozilla: Content-Security-Policy base-uri bypass (CVE-2022-40956)

  - Mozilla: Incoherent instruction cache when building WASM on ARM64 (CVE-2022-40957)

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

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:6708 advisory.

  - When receiving an HTML email that contained an <code>iframe</code> element, which used a     <code>srcdoc</code> attribute to define the inner HTML document, remote objects specified in the nested     document, for example images or videos, were not blocked. Rather, the network was accessed, the objects     were loaded and displayed. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1.
    (CVE-2022-3032)

  - If a Thunderbird user replied to a crafted HTML email containing a <code>meta</code> tag, with the     <code>meta</code> tag having the <code>http-equiv=refresh</code> attribute, and the content attribute     specifying an URL, then Thunderbird started a network request to that URL, regardless of the configuration     to block remote content. In combination with certain other HTML elements and attributes in the email, it     was possible to execute JavaScript code included in the message in the context of the message compose     document. The JavaScript code was able to perform actions including, but probably not limited to, read and     modify the contents of the message compose document, including the quoted original message, which could     potentially contain the decrypted plaintext of encrypted data in the crafted email. The contents could     then be transmitted to the network, either to the URL specified in the META refresh tag, or to a different     URL, as the JavaScript code could modify the URL specified in the document. This bug doesn't affect users     who have changed the default Message Body display setting to 'simple html' or 'plain text'. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1. (CVE-2022-3033)

  - When receiving an HTML email that specified to load an <code>iframe</code> element from a remote location,     a request to the remote document was sent. However, Thunderbird didn't display the document. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1. (CVE-2022-3034)

  - matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. In versions prior to 19.4.0     events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from     functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the     matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to     the consumer. This issue has been fixed in matrix-js-sdk 19.4.0 and users are advised to upgrade. Users     unable to upgrade may mitigate this issue by redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor     to store data, and restarting the client. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events and clearing all     storage will often fix most perceived issues. In some cases, no workarounds are possible. (CVE-2022-36059)

  - When injecting an HTML base element, some requests would ignore the CSP's base-uri settings and accept the     injected element's base instead. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and     Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40956)

    (CVE-2022-3032)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of a Thunderbird     user replying to a crafted HTML email containing a meta tag, with the meta tag having the http-     equiv='refresh' attribute and the content attribute specifying an URL. Thunderbird started a network     request to that URL, regardless of the configuration, to block remote content.

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory, Thunderbird users who     use the Matrix chat protocol are vulnerable to a data corruption issue. An attacker could potentially     cause data integrity issues by sending specially crafted messages. (CVE-2022-39236)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory, Thunderbird users who     use the Matrix chat protocol are vulnerable to an impersonation attack. A malicious server administrator     could fake encrypted messages to look as if they were sent from another user on that server.
    (CVE-2022-39249)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory, Thunderbird users who     use the Matrix chat protocol are vulnerable to an impersonation attack. A malicious server administrator     could interfere with cross-device verification to authenticate their own device. (CVE-2022-39250)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory, Thunderbird users who     use the Matrix chat protocol are vulnerable to an impersonation attack. An attacker could spoof historical     messages from other users, and use a malicious key backup to the user's account under specific conditions     in order to exfiltrate message keys. (CVE-2022-39251)

    A vulnerability was found in expat. With this flaw, it is possible to create a situation in which parsing     is suspended while substituting in an internal entity so that XML_ResumeParser directly uses the     internalEntityProcessor as its processor. If the subsequent parse includes some unclosed tags, this will     return without calling storeRawNames to ensure that the raw versions of the tag names are stored in memory     other than the parse buffer itself. Issues occur if the parse buffer is changed or reallocated (for     example, if processing a file line by line), problems occur. Using this vulnerability in the doContent     function allows an attacker to triage a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.
