The remote CentOS Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2036 advisory.

  - A race condition when running shutdown code for Web Worker led to a use-after-free vulnerability. This     resulted in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.8, Firefox < 76,     and Thunderbird < 68.8.0. (CVE-2020-12387)

  - The 'Copy as cURL' feature of Devtools' network tab did not properly escape the HTTP POST data of a     request, which can be controlled by the website. If a user used the 'Copy as cURL' feature and pasted the     command into a terminal, it could have resulted in the disclosure of local files. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 68.8, Firefox < 76, and Thunderbird < 68.8.0. (CVE-2020-12392)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 75 and Firefox ESR     68.7. 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.8,     Firefox < 76, and Thunderbird < 68.8.0. (CVE-2020-12395)

  - A buffer overflow could occur when parsing and validating SCTP chunks in WebRTC. This could have led to     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.8,     Firefox < 76, and Thunderbird < 68.8.0. (CVE-2020-6831)

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