The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 115.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-43 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. 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-2023-5176)

  - A compromised content process could have provided malicious data to <code>FilterNodeD2D1</code> resulting     in an out-of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This bug     only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-5168)

  - A compromised content process could have provided malicious data in a <code>PathRecording</code> resulting     in an out-of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process.
    (CVE-2023-5169)

  - During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing     an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-5171)

  - If Windows failed to duplicate a handle during process creation, the sandbox code may have inadvertently     freed a pointer twice, resulting in a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This bug only     affects Firefox on Windows when run in non-standard configurations (such as using <code>runas</code>).
    Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-5174)

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 macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 118.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-41 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. 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-2023-5176)

  - A compromised content process could have provided malicious data in a <code>PathRecording</code> resulting     in an out-of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process.
    (CVE-2023-5169)

  - In canvas rendering, a compromised content process could have caused a surface to change unexpectedly,     leading to a memory leak of a privileged process. This memory leak could be used to effect a sandbox     escape if the correct data was leaked. (CVE-2023-5170)

  - During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing     an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-5171)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0239 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

      CVE-2023-4863:
      Heap buffer overflow in libwebp in Google Chrome prior to 116.0.5845.187 and libwebp 1.3.2 allowed a     remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security     severity: Critical)

      CVE-2023-3600:
      During the worker lifecycle, a use-after-free condition could have occured, which could have led to a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.0.2, Firefox ESR < 115.0.2, and     Thunderbird < 115.0.1.

      CVE-2023-5169:
      A compromised content process could have provided malicious data in a PathRecording resulting in an out-     of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.

      CVE-2023-5171:
      During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing     an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.

      CVE-2023-5176:
      Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. 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 < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and     Thunderbird < 115.3.

      CVE-2023-5217:
      Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 and libvpx     1.13.1 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium     security severity: High)

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-6405-1 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-2023-4057, CVE-2023-4577, CVE-2023-4578, CVE-2023-4583, CVE-2023-4585, CVE-2023-5169,     CVE-2023-5171, CVE-2023-5176)

    Andrew McCreight discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage during the worker lifecycle. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3600)

    Harveer Singh discovered that Thunderbird did not store push notifications in private browsing mode in     encrypted form. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-4580)

    Clment Lecigne discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when handling VP8 media     stream. An attacker-controlled VP8 media stream could lead to a heap buffer overflow in the content     process, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5217)
