The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6404-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5169, CVE-2023-5170,     CVE-2023-5171, CVE-2023-5172, CVE-2023-5175, CVE-2023-5176)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when non-HTTPS Alternate Services     (network.http.altsvc.oe) is enabled. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2023-5173)

    Clment Lecigne discovered that Firefox 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)

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5513 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird, which could result in denial of service or the     execution of arbitrary code. Debian follows the Thunderbird upstream releases. Support for the 102.x     series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 115.x series. For the oldstable     distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1:115.3.1-1~deb11u1. For the stable     distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1:115.3.1-1~deb12u1. We recommend that you     upgrade your thunderbird packages.

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:5435 advisory.

  - 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-2023-3600)

  - 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-2023-5169)

  - 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. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5171)

  - 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-2023-5176)

  - 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) (CVE-2023-5217)
