The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - 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 installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 65.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-01 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and community members Arthur Iakab, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Kalel, Emilio     Cobos lvarez, Cristina Coroiu, Noemi Erli, Natalia Csoregi, Julian Seward, Gary Kwong, Tyson Smith,     Yaron Tausky, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64. 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-2018-18502)

  - 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. (CVE-2018-18505)

  - 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. (CVE-2018-18500)

  - A crash and out-of-bounds read can occur when the buffer of a texture client is freed while it is still in     use during graphic operations. This results in a potentially exploitable crash and the possibility of     reading from the memory of the freed buffers. (CVE-2018-18504)

  - When JavaScript is used to create and manipulate an audio buffer, a potentially exploitable crash may     occur because of a compartment mismatch in some situations. (CVE-2018-18503)

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

  - CVE-2016-5824: DoS (use-after-free) via a crafted ics     file

  - CVE-2018-18492: Use-after-free with select element

  - CVE-2018-18493: Buffer overflow in accelerated 2D canvas     with Skia

  - CVE-2018-18494: Same-origin policy violation using     location attribute and performance.getEntries to steal     cross-origin URLs

  - CVE-2018-18498: Integer overflow when calculating buffer     sizes for images

  - CVE-2018-12405: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 64,     60.4, and Thunderbird 60.4

Other bugs fixed and changes made :

  - FileLink provider WeTransfer to upload large attachments

  - Thunderbird now allows the addition of OpenSearch search     engines from a local XML file using a minimal user     inferface: [+] button to select a file an add, [-] to     remove.

  - More search engines: Google and DuckDuckGo available by     default in some locales

  - During account creation, Thunderbird will now detect     servers using the Microsoft Exchange protocol. It will     offer the installation of a 3rd party add-on (Owl) which     supports that protocol.

  - Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based     FileLink add-ons like the Dropbox add-on

  - New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons

  - Fix decoding problems for messages with less common     charsets (cp932, cp936)

  - New messages in the drafts folder (and other special or     virtual folders) will no longer be included in the new     messages notification

  - Thunderbird 60 will migrate security databases (key3.db,     cert8.db to key4.db, cert9.db). Thunderbird 60.3.2 and     earlier contained a fault that potentially deleted saved     passwords and private certificate keys for users using a     master password. Version 60.3.3 will prevent the loss of     data; affected users who have already upgraded to     version 60.3.2 or earlier can restore the deleted     key3.db file from backup to complete the migration.

  - Address book search and auto-complete slowness     introduced in Thunderbird 60.3.2

  - Plain text markup with * for bold, / for italics, _ for     underline and | for code did not work when the enclosed     text contained non-ASCII characters

  - While composing a message, a link not removed when link     location was removed in the link properties panel

  - Encoding problems when exporting address books or     messages using the system charset. Messages are now     always exported using the UTF-8 encoding

  - If the 'Date' header of a message was invalid, Jan 1970     or Dec 1969 was displayed. Now using date from     'Received' header instead.

  - Body search/filtering didn't reliably ignore content of     tags

  - Inappropriate warning 'Thunderbird prevented the site     (addons.thunderbird.net) from asking you to install     software on your computer' when installing add-ons

  - Incorrect display of correspondents column since own     email address was not always detected

  - Spurious (encoded newline) inserted into drafts and sent     email

  - Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes     launched the Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties     dialog

  - Fixe Cookie removal

  - 'Download rest of message' was not working if global     inbox was used

  - Fix Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland)     when a file was sent via a folder using 'Sent to > Mail     recipient' due to a problem in the Thunderbird MAPI     interface

  - According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing     non-ASCII characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can     lead to problems with non-compliant providers, for     example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS     authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding     again to work around this issue

  - Fix shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP     password

Multiple security issues have been found in the Thunderbird mail client, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or spoofing of S/MIME signatures.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:60.5.1-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.
