The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5485 advisory.

  - When receiving rendering data over IPC <code>mStream</code> could have been destroyed when initialized,     which could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-4573)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks     could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the     callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-4574)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the File Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could     have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks     finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-4575)

  - Excel <code>.xll</code> add-in files did not have a blocklist entry in Firefox's executable blocklist     which allowed them to be downloaded without any warning of their potential harm.  (CVE-2023-4581)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 102.14, Firefox ESR 115.1, Thunderbird 102.14, and     Thunderbird 115.1. 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-2023-4584)

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

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:4958 advisory.

  - A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using the file open dialog. This could have     led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116.
    (CVE-2023-4051)

  - A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using a URL with a scheme handled by an     external program, such as a mailto URL. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing     attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116. (CVE-2023-4053)

  - When receiving rendering data over IPC <code>mStream</code> could have been destroyed when initialized,     which could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-4573)

This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-4575)

  - When <code>UpdateRegExpStatics</code> attempted to access <code>initialStringHeap</code> it could already     have been garbage collected prior to entering the function, which could potentially have led to an     exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-4577)

  - When calling <code>JS::CheckRegExpSyntax</code> a Syntax Error could have been set which would end in     calling <code>convertToRuntimeErrorAndClear</code>. A path in the function could attempt to allocate     memory when none is available which would have caused a newly created Out of Memory exception to be     mishandled as a Syntax Error.  (CVE-2023-4578)

  - Push notifications stored on disk in private browsing mode were not being encrypted potentially allowing     the leak of sensitive information.  (CVE-2023-4580)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6368-1 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.
