The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - libical 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted ics file.
    (CVE-2016-5824)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while parsing     an HTML5 stream in concert with custom HTML elements.
    This results in the stream parser object being freed     while still in use, leading to a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5,     Firefox ESR < 60.5, and Firefox < 65. (CVE-2018-18500)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 64 and Firefox ESR 60.4.
    Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption     and we presume that with enough effort that some of     these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR <     60.5, and Firefox < 65. (CVE-2018-18501)

  - An earlier fix for an Inter-process Communication (IPC)     vulnerability, CVE-2011-3079, added authentication to     communication between IPC endpoints and server parents     during IPC process creation. This authentication is     insufficient for channels created after the IPC process     is started, leading to the authentication not being     correctly applied to later channels. This could allow     for a sandbox escape through IPC channels due to lack of     message validation in the listener process. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR <     60.5, and Firefox < 65. (CVE-2018-18505)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 60.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-02 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl, Steven Crane, Jason Kratzer, Gary     Kwong, and Christian Holler reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64 and Firefox ESR 60.4. Some     of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of     these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-18501)

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code or privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 60.5.0esr-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3874-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, gain additional     privileges by escaping the sandbox, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-18500, CVE-2018-18501,     CVE-2018-18502, CVE-2018-18503, CVE-2018-18504, CVE-2018-18505)

    It was discovered that Firefox allowed PAC files to specify that requests to localhost are sent through     the proxy to another server. If proxy auto-detection is enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit     this to conduct attacks on local services and tools. (CVE-2018-18506)
