 - Characters from the Canadian Syllabics unicode block can be mixed with characters from other unicode blocks in the addressbar instead of being rendered as their raw punycode form, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks through character confusion. The current Unicode standard allows characters from Aspirational Use Scripts such as Canadian Syllabics to be mixed with Latin characters in the moderately restrictive IDN profile. We have changed Firefox behavior to match the upcoming Unicode version 10.0 which removes this category and treats them as Limited Use Scripts.. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7764)

 - Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 52, Firefox ESR 45.8, Firefox ESR 52, and Thunderbird 52. 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 < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53. (CVE-2017-5429)

 - A vulnerability while parsing application/http-index- format format content where uninitialized values are used to create an array. This could allow the reading of uninitialized memory into the arrays affected. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
 (CVE-2017-5445)

 - A use-after-free vulnerability during XSLT processing due to a failure to propagate error conditions during matching while evaluating context, leading to objects being used when they no longer exist. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53. (CVE-2017-5440)

 - An out-of-bounds write in the Graphite 2 library triggered with a maliciously crafted Graphite font. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This issue was fixed in the Graphite 2 library as well as Mozilla products. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53. (CVE-2017-5436)

 - A flaw was found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2017-5428)

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