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)

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 Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 106.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-44 advisory.

  - A same-origin policy violation could have allowed the theft of cross-origin URL entries, leaking the     result of a redirect, via <code>performance.getEntries()</code>. (CVE-2022-42927)

  - Certain types of allocations were missing annotations that, if the Garbage Collector was in a specific     state, could have lead to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-42928)

  - If a website called <code>window.print()</code> in a particular way, it could cause a denial of service of     the browser, which may persist beyond browser restart depending on the user's session restore settings.
    (CVE-2022-42929)

  - If two Workers were simultaneously initializing their CacheStorage, a data race could have occurred in the     <code>ThirdPartyUtil</code> component. (CVE-2022-42930)

  - Logins saved by Firefox should be managed by the Password Manager component which uses encryption to save     files on-disk. Instead, the username (not password) was saved by the Form Manager to an unencrypted file     on disk. (CVE-2022-42931)

  - Mozilla developers Ashley Hale and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox     105 and Firefox ESR 102.3. 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-2022-42932)

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