The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 106.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-44 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Ashley Hale, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs     present in Firefox 105. 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-2022-46885)

  - 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)

  - An optimization in WebGL was incorrect in some cases, and could have led to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash.<br />Note: This advisory was added on December 13th, 2022 after we better     understood the impact of the issue. The fix was included in the original release of Firefox 106.
    (CVE-2022-46881)

  - 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)

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 ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 102.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-45 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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)

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 SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4085-1 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>. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     102.4, Firefox ESR < 102.4, and Firefox < 106. (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. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 102.4, Firefox ESR < 102.4, and Firefox < 106. (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.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.4, Firefox ESR < 102.4, and Firefox < 106. (CVE-2022-42929)

  - Mozilla developers Ashley Hale and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in     Thunderbird 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. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 102.4, Firefox ESR < 102.4, and Firefox < 106. (CVE-2022-42932)

  - Service Workers should not be able to infer information about opaque cross-origin responses; but timing     information for cross-origin media combined with Range requests might have allowed them to determine the     presence or length of a media file. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5,     and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45403)

  - Through a series of popup and <code>window.print()</code> calls, an attacker can cause a window to go     fullscreen without the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or     spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
    (CVE-2022-45404)

  - Freeing arbitrary <code>nsIInputStream</code>'s on a different thread than creation could have led to a     use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5,     Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45405)

  - If an out-of-memory condition occurred when creating a JavaScript global, a JavaScript realm may be     deleted while references to it lived on in a BaseShape. This could lead to a use-after-free causing a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and     Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45406)

  - Through a series of popups that reuse windowName, an attacker can cause a window to go fullscreen without     the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45408)

  - The garbage collector could have been aborted in several states and zones and     <code>GCRuntime::finishCollection</code> may not have been called, leading to a use-after-free and     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and     Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45409)

  - When a ServiceWorker intercepted a request with <code>FetchEvent</code>, the origin of the request was     lost after the ServiceWorker took ownership of it. This had the effect of negating SameSite cookie     protections. This was addressed in the spec and then in browsers. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR <     102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45410)

  - Cross-Site Tracing occurs when a server will echo a request back via the Trace method, allowing an XSS     attack to access to authorization headers and cookies inaccessible to JavaScript (such as cookies     protected by HTTPOnly). To mitigate this attack, browsers placed limits on <code>fetch()</code> and     XMLHttpRequest; however some webservers have implemented non-standard headers such as <code>X-Http-Method-     Override</code> that override the HTTP method, and made this attack possible again. Thunderbird has     applied the same mitigations to the use of this and similar headers. This vulnerability affects Firefox     ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45411)

  - When resolving a symlink such as <code>file:///proc/self/fd/1</code>, an error message may be produced     where the symlink was resolved to a string containing unitialized memory in the buffer. <br>*This bug only     affects Thunderbird on Unix-based operated systems (Android, Linux, MacOS). Windows is unaffected.*. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45412)

  - Keyboard events reference strings like KeyA that were at fixed, known, and widely-spread addresses.
    Cache-based timing attacks such as Prime+Probe could have possibly figured out which keys were being     pressed. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
    (CVE-2022-45416)

  - If a custom mouse cursor is specified in CSS, under certain circumstances the cursor could have been drawn     over the browser UI, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45418)

  - Use tables inside of an iframe, an attacker could have caused iframe contents to be rendered outside the     boundaries of the iframe, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45420)

  - Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight and Gabriele Svelto reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird     102.4. 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 < 102.5,     Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107. (CVE-2022-45421)
