The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:9074 advisory.

  - A use-after-free in WebGL extensions could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 107, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46882)

  - If a Thunderbird user quoted from an HTML email, for example by replying to the email, and the email     contained either a VIDEO tag with the POSTER attribute or an OBJECT tag with a DATA attribute, a network     request to the referenced remote URL was performed, regardless of a configuration to block remote content.
    An image loaded from the POSTER attribute was shown in the composer window. These issues could have given     an attacker additional capabilities when targetting releases that did not yet have a fix for CVE-2022-3033     which was reported around three months ago. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.5.1.
    (CVE-2022-45414)

  - An attacker who compromised a content process could have partially escaped the sandbox to read arbitrary     files via clipboard-related IPC messages.<br>*This bug only affects Thunderbird for Linux. Other operating     systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird <     102.6. (CVE-2022-46872)

  - A file with a long filename could have had its filename truncated to remove the valid extension, leaving a     malicious extension in its place. This could potentially led to user confusion and the execution of     malicious code.<br/>*Note*: This issue was originally included in the advisories for Thunderbird 102.6,     but a patch (specific to Thunderbird) was omitted, resulting in it actually being fixed in Thunderbird     102.6.1. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108, Thunderbird < 102.6.1, Thunderbird < 102.6, and Firefox     ESR < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46874)

  - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory     safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.5. 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 < 108, Firefox ESR < 102.6, and Thunderbird < 102.6. (CVE-2022-46878)

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5824-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-45403, CVE-2022-45404, CVE-2022-45405, CVE-2022-45406, CVE-2022-45408,     CVE-2022-45409, CVE-2022-45410, CVE-2022-45411, CVE-2022-45418, CVE-2022-45420, CVE-2022-45421,     CVE-2022-46878, CVE-2022-46880, CVE-2022-46881, CVE-2022-46882, CVE-2023-23605)

    Armin Ebert discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory while resolving file symlink. If a     user were tricked into opening a specially crafted weblink, an attacker could potentially exploit these to     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-45412)

    Sarah Jamie Lewis discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage network request while handling HTML     emails with certain tags. If a user were tricked into opening a specially HTML email, an attacker could     potentially exploit these issue and load remote content regardless of a configuration to block remote     content. (CVE-2022-45414)

    Erik Kraft, Martin Schwarzl, and Andrew McCreight discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly handled keyboard     events. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and possibly     figure out which keys are being pressed. (CVE-2022-45416)

    It was discovered that Thunderbird was using an out-of-date libusrsctp library. An attacker could possibly     use this library to perform a reentrancy issue on Thunderbird. (CVE-2022-46871)

    Nika Layzell discovered that Thunderbird was not performing a check on paste received from cross-     processes. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-46872)

    Matthias Zoellner discovered that Thunderbird was not keeping the filename ending intact when using the     drag-and-drop event. An attacker could possibly use this issue to add a file with a malicious extension,     leading to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-46874)

    Hafiizh discovered that Thunderbird was not properly handling fullscreen notifications when the window     goes into fullscreen mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof the user and obtain     sensitive information. (CVE-2022-46877)

    Tom Schuster discovered that Thunderbird was not performing a validation check on GTK drag data. An     attacker could potentially exploits this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-23598)

    Vadim discovered that Thunderbird was not properly sanitizing a curl command output when copying a network     request from the developer tools panel. An attacker could potentially exploits this to hide and execute     arbitrary commands. (CVE-2023-23599)

    Luan Herrera discovered that Thunderbird was not stopping navigation when dragging a URL from a cross-     origin iframe into the same tab. An attacker potentially exploits this to spoof the user. (CVE-2023-23601)

    Dave Vandyke discovered that Thunderbird did not properly implement CSP policy when creating a WebSocket     in a WebWorker. An attacker who was able to inject markup into a page otherwise protected by a Content     Security Policy may have been able to inject an executable script. (CVE-2023-23602)

    Dan Veditz discovered that Thunderbird did not properly implement CSP policy on regular expression when     using console.log. An attacker potentially exploits this to exfiltrate data. (CVE-2023-23603)

    It was discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check the Certificate OCSP revocation status when     verifying S/Mime signatures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass signature validation     check by sending email signed with a revoked certificate. (CVE-2023-0430)

  - An optimization in WebGL was incorrect in some cases, and could have led to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-46881)

  - A file with a long filename could have had its filename truncated to remove the valid extension, leaving a     malicious extension in its place. This could potentially led to user confusion and the execution of     malicious code. (CVE-2022-46874)
