Synopsis

The remote CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1488 advisory.

 - Under certain conditions, when running the nsDocShell destructor, a race condition can cause a use-after- free. We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox < 74.0.1, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.1. (CVE-2020-6819)

 - Under certain conditions, when handling a ReadableStream, a race condition can cause a use-after-free. We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox < 74.0.1, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.1. (CVE-2020-6820)

 - When reading from areas partially or fully outside the source resource with WebGL's <code>copyTexSubImage</code> method, the specification requires the returned values be zero. Previously, this memory was uninitialized, leading to potentially sensitive data disclosure. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75. (CVE-2020-6821)

 - On 32-bit builds, an out of bounds write could have occurred when processing an image larger than 4 GB in <code>GMPDecodeData</code>. It is possible that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75.
 (CVE-2020-6822)

 - Mozilla developers and community members Tyson Smith and Christian Holler reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 74 and Firefox ESR 68.6. 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 Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75. (CVE-2020-6825)

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

Solution

Update the affected thunderbird package.
