Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135 and Thunderbird 135. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 136 and Thunderbird < 136.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 37c368f1-10a2-11f0-8195-b42e991fc52e advisory.

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 136.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-17 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135, Thunderbird 135, Firefox ESR 128.7, and Thunderbird 128.7. Some     of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these     could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-1938)

  - An inconsistent comparator in xslt/txNodeSorter could have resulted in potentially exploitable out-of-     bounds access. Only affected version 122 and later. (CVE-2025-1932)

  - Certain crafted MIME email messages that claimed to contain an encrypted OpenPGP message, which instead     contained an OpenPGP signed message, were wrongly shown as being encrypted. (CVE-2025-26696)

  - When requesting an OpenPGP key from a WKD server, an incorrect padding size was used and a network     observer could have learned the length of the requested email address. (CVE-2025-26695)

  - On Windows, a compromised content process could use bad StreamData sent over AudioIPC to trigger a use-     after-free in the Browser process. This could have led to a sandbox escape. (CVE-2025-1930)

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 136.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-17 advisory.

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 136.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-14 advisory.

  - Malicious pages could use Firefox for Android to pass FIDO: links to the OS and trigger the hybrid     passkey transport. An attacker within Bluetooth range could have used this to trick the user into using     their passkey to log the attacker's computer into the target account. (CVE-2024-9956)

  - On Windows, a compromised content process could use bad StreamData sent over AudioIPC to trigger a use-     after-free in the Browser process. This could have led to a sandbox escape. (CVE-2025-1930)

  - Android apps can load web pages using the Custom Tabs feature. This feature supports a transition     animation that could have been used to trick a user into granting sensitive permissions by hiding what the     user was actually clicking. (CVE-2025-1939)

  - It was possible to cause a use-after-free in the content process side of a WebTransport connection,     leading to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2025-1931)

  - An inconsistent comparator in xslt/txNodeSorter could have resulted in potentially exploitable out-of-     bounds access. Only affected version 122 and later. (CVE-2025-1932)
