The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 112.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-13 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported     memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111. 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-2023-29551)

  - A newline in a filename could have been used to bypass the file extension security mechanisms that replace     malicious file extensions such as .lnk  with .download. This could have led to accidental execution of     malicious code. This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.
    (CVE-2023-29542)

  - An attacker could have caused an out of bounds memory access using WebGL APIs, leading to memory     corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This bug only affects Firefox for macOS. Other operating     systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-29531)

  - A local attacker can trick the Mozilla Maintenance Service into applying an unsigned update file by     pointing the service at an update file on a malicious SMB server. The update file can be replaced after     the signature check, before the use, because the write-lock requested by the service does not work on a     SMB server. Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating     systems are not affected. (CVE-2023-29532)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a combination of     <code>window.open</code>, fullscreen requests, <code>window.name</code> assignments, and     <code>setInterval</code> calls. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks.
    (CVE-2023-29533)

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

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-1749adc275 advisory.

    - New upstream update (112.0)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-07c1537955 advisory.

    - New upstream update (112.0)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

The version of mozilla-firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 102.10.0esr / 112.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-101-01 advisory.

  - Unexpected data returned from the Safe Browsing API could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-1945)

  - An attacker could have caused an out of bounds memory access using WebGL APIs, leading to memory     corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This bug only affects Firefox for macOS. Other operating     systems are unaffected.  (CVE-2023-29531)

  - A local attacker can trick the Mozilla Maintenance Service into applying an unsigned update file by     pointing the service at an update file on a malicious SMB server. The update file can be replaced after     the signature check, before the use, because the write-lock requested by the service does not work on a     SMB server. Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating     systems are not affected.  (CVE-2023-29532)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a combination of     <code>window.open</code>, fullscreen requests, <code>window.name</code> assignments, and     <code>setInterval</code> calls. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks.
    (CVE-2023-29533)

  - Following a Garbage Collector compaction, weak maps may have been accessed before they were correctly     traced. This resulted in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-29535)

  - An attacker could cause the memory manager to incorrectly free a pointer that addresses attacker-     controlled memory, resulting in an assertion, memory corruption, or a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-29536)

  - When handling the filename directive in the Content-Disposition header, the filename would be truncated if     the filename contained a NULL character. This could have led to reflected file download attacks     potentially tricking users to install malware.  (CVE-2023-29539)

  - Firefox did not properly handle downloads of files ending in <code>.desktop</code>, which can be     interpreted to run attacker-controlled commands.  This bug only affects Firefox for Linux on certain     Distributions. Other operating systems are unaffected, and Mozilla is unable to enumerate all affected     Linux Distributions.  (CVE-2023-29541)

  - Similar to CVE-2023-28163, this time when choosing 'Save Link As', suggested filenames containing     environment variable names would have resolved those in the context of the current user.  This bug only     affects Firefox on Windows. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.  (CVE-2023-29545)

  - A wrong lowering instruction in the ARM64 Ion compiler resulted in a wrong optimization result.
    (CVE-2023-29548)

  - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew Osmond, Sebastian Hengst, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111 and Firefox ESR 102.9. 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-2023-29550)

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