high Nessus Plugin ID 149863

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 78.10.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1644 advisory.

Further techniques that built on the slipstream research combined with a malicious webpage could have exposed both an internal network's hosts as well as services running on the user's local machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85 (CVE-2021-23991) (CVE-2021-23992) (CVE-2021-23961) (CVE-2021-23993) (CVE-2021-23994) (CVE-2021-23995) (CVE-2021-23998) (CVE-2021-23999) (CVE-2021-24002) (CVE-2021-29945) (CVE-2021-29946) (CVE-2021-29948)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update thunderbird' to update your system.
