The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 115.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-55 advisory.

  - When processing a PGP/MIME payload that contains digitally signed text, the first paragraph of the text     was never shown to the user. This is because the text was interpreted as a MIME message and the first     paragraph was always treated as an email header section. A digitally signed text from a different context,     such as a signed GIT commit, could be used to spoof an email message. (CVE-2023-50762)

  - The signature of a digitally signed S/MIME email message may optionally specify the signature creation     date and time. If present, Thunderbird did not compare the signature creation date with the message date     and time, and displayed a valid signature despite a date or time mismatch. This could be used to give     recipients the impression that a message was sent at a different date or time. (CVE-2023-50761)

  - The WebGL <code>DrawElementsInstanced</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when used on     systems with the Mesa VM driver.  This issue could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution and     sandbox escape. (CVE-2023-6856)

  - When resolving a symlink, a race may occur where the buffer passed to <code>readlink</code> may actually     be smaller than necessary.  This bug only affects Thunderbird on Unix-based operating systems (Android,     Linux, MacOS). Windows is unaffected. (CVE-2023-6857)

  - Thunderbird was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow in <code>nsTextFragment</code> due to insufficient     OOM handling. (CVE-2023-6858)

  - A use-after-free condition affected TLS socket creation when under memory pressure. (CVE-2023-6859)

  - The <code>VideoBridge</code> allowed any content process to use textures produced by remote decoders.
    This could be abused to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2023-6860)

  - The <code>nsWindow::PickerOpen(void)</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when running     in headless mode. (CVE-2023-6861)

  - A use-after-free was identified in the <code>nsDNSService::Init</code>.  This issue appears to manifest     rarely during start-up. (CVE-2023-6862)

  - The <code>ShutdownObserver()</code> was susceptible to potentially undefined behavior due to its reliance     on a dynamic type that lacked a virtual destructor. (CVE-2023-6863)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 120, Firefox ESR 115.5, and Thunderbird 115.5. 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. (CVE-2023-6864)

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 121.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-56 advisory.

  - The WebGL <code>DrawElementsInstanced</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when used on     systems with the Mesa VM driver. This issue could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution and     sandbox escape. (CVE-2023-6856)

  - Multiple NSS NIST curves were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as Minerva. This attack could     potentially allow an attacker to recover the private key. (CVE-2023-6135)

  - <code>EncryptingOutputStream</code> was susceptible to exposing uninitialized data. This issue could only     be abused in order to write data to a local disk which may have implications for private browsing mode.
    (CVE-2023-6865)

  - When resolving a symlink, a race may occur where the buffer passed to <code>readlink</code> may actually     be smaller than necessary.  This bug only affects Firefox on Unix-based operating systems (Android, Linux,     MacOS). Windows is unaffected. (CVE-2023-6857)

  - Firefox was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow in <code>nsTextFragment</code> due to insufficient OOM     handling. (CVE-2023-6858)

  - A use-after-free condition affected TLS socket creation when under memory pressure. (CVE-2023-6859)

  - TypedArrays can be fallible and lacked proper exception handling. This could lead to abuse in other APIs     which expect TypedArrays to always succeed. (CVE-2023-6866)

  - The <code>VideoBridge</code> allowed any content process to use textures produced by remote decoders. This     could be abused to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2023-6860)

  - The timing of a button click causing a popup to disappear was approximately the same length as the anti-     clickjacking delay on permission prompts. It was possible to use this fact to surprise users by luring     them to click where the permission grant button would be about to appear. (CVE-2023-6867)

  - The <code>nsWindow::PickerOpen(void)</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when running     in headless mode. (CVE-2023-6861)

  - In some instances, the user-agent would allow push requests which lacked a valid VAPID even though the     push manager subscription defined one. This could allow empty messages to be sent from unauthorized     parties. This bug only affects Firefox on Android. (CVE-2023-6868)

  - A <code><dialog></code> element could have been manipulated to paint content outside of a sandboxed     iframe. This could allow untrusted content to display under the guise of trusted content. (CVE-2023-6869)

  - Applications which spawn a Toast notification in a background thread may have obscured fullscreen     notifications displayed by Firefox.  This issue only affects Android versions of Firefox and Firefox     Focus. (CVE-2023-6870)

  - Under certain conditions, Firefox did not display a warning when a user attempted to navigate to a new     protocol handler. (CVE-2023-6871)

  - Browser tab titles were being leaked by GNOME to system logs. This could potentially expose the browsing     habits of users running in a private tab. (CVE-2023-6872)

  - The <code>ShutdownObserver()</code> was susceptible to potentially undefined behavior due to its reliance     on a dynamic type that lacked a virtual destructor. (CVE-2023-6863)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 120, Firefox ESR 115.5, and Thunderbird 115.5. 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. (CVE-2023-6864)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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 ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 115.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-54 advisory.

  - The WebGL <code>DrawElementsInstanced</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when used on     systems with the Mesa VM driver.  This issue could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution and     sandbox escape. (CVE-2023-6856)

  - <code>EncryptingOutputStream</code> was susceptible to exposing uninitialized data.  This issue could only     be abused in order to write data to a local disk which may have implications for private browsing mode.
    (CVE-2023-6865)

  - When resolving a symlink, a race may occur where the buffer passed to <code>readlink</code> may actually     be smaller than necessary.  This bug only affects Firefox on Unix-based operating systems (Android, Linux,     MacOS). Windows is unaffected. (CVE-2023-6857)

  - Firefox was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow in <code>nsTextFragment</code> due to insufficient OOM     handling. (CVE-2023-6858)

  - A use-after-free condition affected TLS socket creation when under memory pressure. (CVE-2023-6859)

  - The <code>VideoBridge</code> allowed any content process to use textures produced by remote decoders.
    This could be abused to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2023-6860)

  - The timing of a button click causing a popup to disappear was approximately the same length as the anti-     clickjacking delay on permission prompts. It was possible to use this fact to surprise users by luring     them to click where the permission grant button would be about to appear. (CVE-2023-6867)

  - The <code>nsWindow::PickerOpen(void)</code> method was susceptible to a heap buffer overflow when running     in headless mode. (CVE-2023-6861)

  - A use-after-free was identified in the <code>nsDNSService::Init</code>.  This issue appears to manifest     rarely during start-up. (CVE-2023-6862)

  - The <code>ShutdownObserver()</code> was susceptible to potentially undefined behavior due to its reliance     on a dynamic type that lacked a virtual destructor. (CVE-2023-6863)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 120, Firefox ESR 115.5, and Thunderbird 115.5. 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. (CVE-2023-6864)
