This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.06, has thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 67 and Firefox ESR 60.7.
    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 Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11709)

  - When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the     use of document.domain for cross-origin protections. If     pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use     document.domain, then either page can abuse this to     inject script into arbitrary pages on the other     subdomain, even those that did not use document.domain     to relax their origin security. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11711)

  - POST requests made by NPAPI plugins, such as Flash, that     receive a status 308 redirect response can bypass CORS     requirements. This can allow an attacker to perform     Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11712)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in HTTP/2 when     a cached HTTP/2 stream is closed while still in use,     resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11713)

  - Due to an error while parsing page content, it is     possible for properly sanitized user input to be     misinterpreted and lead to XSS hazards on web sites in     certain circumstances. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird <     60.8. (CVE-2019-11715)

  - A vulnerability exists where the caret (^) character     is improperly escaped constructing some URIs due to it     being used as a separator, allowing for possible     spoofing of origin attributes. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11717)

  - A vulnerability exists where if a user opens a locally     saved HTML file, this file can use file: URIs to access     other files in the same directory or sub-directories if     the names are known or guessed. The Fetch API can then     be used to read the contents of any files stored in     these directories and they may uploaded to a server. It     was demonstrated that in combination with a popular     Android messaging app, if a malicious HTML attachment is     sent to a user and they opened that attachment in     Firefox, due to that app's predictable pattern for     locally-saved file names, it is possible to read     attachments the victim received from other     correspondents. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR <     60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
    (CVE-2019-11730)

  - As part of a winning Pwn2Own entry, a researcher     demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious     language pack and then opening a browser feature that     used the compromised translation. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-9811)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - As part of a winning Pwn2Own entry, a researcher demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious     language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-9811)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
