    There is no known workaround at this time.

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

  - Decrypted S/MIME parts, when included in HTML crafted     for an attack, can leak plaintext when included in a a     HTML reply/forward. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 52.9. (CVE-2018-12372)

  - Plaintext of decrypted emails can leak through by user     submitting an embedded form by pressing enter key within     a text input field. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 52.9. (CVE-2018-12374)

  - A buffer overflow can occur when rendering canvas     content while adjusting the height and width of the     canvas element dynamically, causing data to be written     outside of the currently computed boundaries. This     results in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird <     52.9, Firefox ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and     Firefox < 61. (CVE-2018-12359)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when deleting     an input element during a mutation event handler     triggered by focusing that element. This results in a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox     ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
    (CVE-2018-12360)

  - An integer overflow can occur during graphics operations     done by the Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3     (SSSE3) scaler, resulting in a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60,     Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR <     52.9, and Firefox < 61. (CVE-2018-12362)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when script     uses mutation events to move DOM nodes between     documents, resulting in the old document that held the     node being freed but the node still having a pointer     referencing it. This results in a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR <     60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
    (CVE-2018-12363)

  - NPAPI plugins, such as Adobe Flash, can send non-simple     cross-origin requests, bypassing CORS by making a same-     origin POST that does a 307 redirect to the target site.
    This allows for a malicious site to engage in cross-site     request forgery (CSRF) attacks. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox     ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
    (CVE-2018-12364)

  - A compromised IPC child process can escape the content     sandbox and list the names of arbitrary files on the     file system without user consent or interaction. This     could result in exposure of private local files. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird <     52.9, Firefox ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and     Firefox < 61. (CVE-2018-12365)

  - An invalid grid size during QCMS (color profile)     transformations can result in the out-of-bounds read     interpreted as a float value. This could leak private     data into the output. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR <     60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
    (CVE-2018-12366)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 60, Firefox ESR     60, and Firefox ESR 52.8. 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, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR <     60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
    (CVE-2018-5188)

  - dDecrypted S/MIME parts hidden with CSS or the plaintext     HTML tag can leak plaintext when included in a HTML     reply/forward. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird <     52.9. (CVE-2018-12373)

  - Using remote content in encrypted messages can lead to     the disclosure of plaintext. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
    (CVE-2018-5184)

  - Crafted message headers can cause a Thunderbird process     to hang on receiving the message. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.

    (CVE-2018-5162)

  - It is possible to spoof the filename of an attachment     and display an arbitrary attachment name. This could     lead to a user opening a remote attachment which is a     different file type than expected. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
    (CVE-2018-5170)

  - Plaintext of decrypted emails can leak through by user     submitting an embedded form. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
    (CVE-2018-5185)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while     enumerating attributes during SVG animations with clip     paths. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.8,     Thunderbird ESR < 52.8, Firefox < 60, and Firefox ESR <     52.8. (CVE-2018-5154)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while adjusting     layout during SVG animations with text paths. This     results in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.8, Thunderbird     ESR < 52.8, Firefox < 60, and Firefox ESR < 52.8.
    (CVE-2018-5155)

  - An integer overflow can occur in the Skia library due to     32-bit integer use in an array without integer overflow     checks, resulting in possible out-of-bounds writes. This     could lead to a potentially exploitable crash     triggerable by web content. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 52.8, Thunderbird ESR < 52.8, Firefox <     60, and Firefox ESR < 52.8. (CVE-2018-5159)

  - A buffer overflow was found during UTF8 to Unicode     string conversion within JavaScript with extremely large     amounts of data. This vulnerability requires the use of     a malicious or vulnerable legacy extension in order to     occur. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird ESR <     52.8, Thunderbird < 52.8, and Firefox ESR < 52.8.
    (CVE-2018-5178)

  - Mozilla developers backported selected changes in the     Skia library. These changes correct memory corruption     issues including invalid buffer reads and writes during     graphic operations. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird ESR < 52.8, Thunderbird < 52.8, and Firefox     ESR < 52.8. (CVE-2018-5183)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 61 and Firefox ESR     60.1. 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 Firefox < 62, Firefox ESR <     60.2, and Thunderbird < 60.2.1. (CVE-2018-12376)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when refresh     driver timers are refreshed in some circumstances during     shutdown when the timer is deleted while still in use.
    This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 62, Firefox ESR < 60.2,     and Thunderbird < 60.2.1. (CVE-2018-12377)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when an     IndexedDB index is deleted while still in use by     JavaScript code that is providing payload values to be     stored. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 62, Firefox ESR <     60.2, and Thunderbird < 60.2.1. (CVE-2018-12378)

  - When the Mozilla Updater opens a MAR format file which     contains a very long item filename, an out-of-bounds     write can be triggered, leading to a potentially     exploitable crash. This requires running the Mozilla     Updater manually on the local system with the malicious     MAR file in order to occur. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 62, Firefox ESR < 60.2, and Thunderbird <     60.2.1. (CVE-2018-12379)

  - If a user saved passwords before Firefox 58 and then     later set a master password, an unencrypted copy of     these passwords is still accessible. This is because the     older stored password file was not deleted when the data     was copied to a new format starting in Firefox 58. The     new master password is added only on the new file. This     could allow the exposure of stored password data outside     of user expectations. This vulnerability affects Firefox     < 62, Firefox ESR < 60.2.1, and Thunderbird < 60.2.1.
    (CVE-2018-12383)

  - Firefox proxy settings can be bypassed by using the     automount feature with autofs to create a mount point on     the local file system. Content can be loaded from this     mounted file system directly using a `file:` URI,     bypassing configured proxy settings. This issue only     affects OS X in default configuration; on Linux systems,     autofs must also be installed for the vulnerability to     occur. (CVE-2017-16541)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 60.2. 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 Firefox ESR < 60.3 and Thunderbird < 60.3.
    (CVE-2018-12389)

  - When manipulating user events in nested loops while     opening a document through script, it is possible to     trigger a potentially exploitable crash due to poor     event handling. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63,     Firefox ESR < 60.3, and Thunderbird < 60.3.
    (CVE-2018-12392)

  - A potentially exploitable crash in TransportSecurityInfo     used for SSL can be triggered by data stored in the     local cache in the user profile directory. This issue is     only exploitable in combination with another     vulnerability allowing an attacker to write data into     the local cache or from locally installed malware. This     issue also triggers a non-exploitable startup crash for     users switching between the Nightly and Release versions     of Firefox if the same profile is used. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.2.1, Firefox ESR     < 60.2.1, and Firefox < 62.0.2. (CVE-2018-12385)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 62 and Firefox ESR 60.2.
    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 Firefox < 63, Firefox ESR < 60.3,     and Thunderbird < 60.3. (CVE-2018-12390)

  - A potential vulnerability was found in 32-bit builds     where an integer overflow during the conversion of     scripts to an internal UTF-16 representation could     result in allocating a buffer too small for the     conversion. This leads to a possible out-of-bounds     write. *Note: 64-bit builds are not vulnerable to this     issue.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63,     Firefox ESR < 60.3, and Thunderbird < 60.3.
    (CVE-2018-12393)

  - Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 59, Firefox     ESR 52.7, and Thunderbird 52.7. 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 < 52.8, Thunderbird ESR < 52.8, Firefox <     60, and Firefox ESR < 52.8. (CVE-2018-5150)

  - Sites can bypass security checks on permissions to     install lightweight themes by manipulating the baseURI     property of the theme element. This could allow a     malicious site to install a theme without user     interaction which could contain offensive or     embarrassing images. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 52.8, Thunderbird ESR < 52.8, Firefox <     60, and Firefox ESR < 52.8. (CVE-2018-5168)

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

Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR earlier than 52.8 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when enumerating attributes for SVG animations with clip paths. With a specially crafted SVG file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'layout/svg/SVGTextFrame.cpp' that is triggered when adjusting layouts for SVG animations with text paths. With a specially crafted SVG file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the PDF viewer that may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the same-origin policy and view restricted PDF files on a third-party website.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists exists because the PDF viewer does not properly sanitize input to PostScript calculator functions before returning it to users. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that executes arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - An integer overflow condition exists in 'include/private/SkTDArray.h' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists in the installation of themes. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to manipulate the baseURI property  of a theme element to bypass intended user interaction checks, allowing for the installation of unintended themes. This may be used to 'e.g'. deface a page with content from unintended themes.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as the program sets the SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI flag for Windows Defender SmartScreen when handling certain downloads. This may result in the download file prompt not displaying to the user, potentially causing files to be opened without the user's intent.
 - An assertion flaw exists in the 'FilterNodeArithmeticCombineSoftware::SetAttribute()' function in 'gfx/2d/FilterNodeSoftware.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause an out-of-bounds read and potentially disclose memory contents.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when asynchronously calling methods from the CamerasChild class in 'dom/media/systemservices/CamerasChild.cpp'. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when performing UTF8 to Unicode string conversion. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist exist related to the use of insecure versions of Skia that may allow an attacker to perform memory corruption attacks, or potentially have other impacts. No further details have been provided.
