The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 128.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-32 advisory.

  - Clipboard code failed to check the index on an array access. This could have lead to an out-of-bounds     read. (CVE-2024-6606)

  - It was possible to prevent a user from exiting pointerlock when pressing escape and to overlay     customValidity notifications from a <code><select></code> element over certain permission prompts.
    This could be used to confuse a user into giving a site unintended permissions. (CVE-2024-6607)

  - It was possible to move the cursor using pointerlock from an iframe. This allowed moving the cursor     outside of the viewport and the application window. (CVE-2024-6608)

  - When almost out-of-memory an elliptic curve key which was never allocated could have been freed again.
    (CVE-2024-6609)

  - Form validation popups could capture escape key presses. Therefore, spamming form validation messages     could be used to prevent users from exiting full-screen mode. (CVE-2024-6610)

  - Due to large allocation checks in Angle for GLSL shaders being too lenient an out-of-bounds access could     occur when allocating more than 8192 ints in private shader memory on mac OS. (CVE-2024-6600)

  - A race condition could lead to a cross-origin container obtaining permissions of the top-level origin.
    (CVE-2024-6601)

  - A mismatch between allocator and deallocator could have lead to memory corruption. (CVE-2024-6602)

  - In an out-of-memory scenario an allocation could fail but free would have been called on the pointer     afterwards leading to memory corruption. (CVE-2024-6603)

  - A nested iframe, triggering a cross-site navigation, could send SameSite=Strict or Lax cookies.
    (CVE-2024-6611)

  - CSP violations generated links in the console tab of the developer tools, pointing to the violating     resource. This caused a DNS prefetch which leaked that a CSP violation happened. (CVE-2024-6612)

  - The frame iterator could get stuck in a loop when encountering certain wasm frames leading to incorrect     stack traces. (CVE-2024-6613, CVE-2024-6614)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 127, Firefox ESR 115.12, Thunderbird 127, and Thunderbird 115.12.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-6601, CVE-2024-6604,     CVE-2024-6607, CVE-2024-6608, CVE-2024-6610, CVE-2024-6611, CVE-2024-6612, CVE-2024-6613, CVE-2024-6614,     CVE-2024-6615)

    It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain memory operations in the NSS. An attacker     could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
