Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:0821-1 advisory.

- An attacker could have caused a use-after-free by forcing a text reflow in an SVG object leading to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-26381)

- Mozilla: Browser window spoof using fullscreen mode (CVE-2022-26383)

- If an attacker could control the contents of an iframe sandboxed with <code>allow-popups</code> but not <code>allow-scripts</code>, they were able to craft a link that, when clicked, would lead to JavaScript execution in violation of the sandbox. (CVE-2022-26384)

- Previously Thunderbird for macOS and Linux would download temporary files to a user-specific directory in <code>/tmp</code>, but this behavior was changed to download them to <code>/tmp</code> where they could be affected by other local users. This behavior was reverted to the original, user-specific directory. This bug only affects Thunderbird for macOS and Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.
(CVE-2022-26386)

- When installing an add-on, Thunderbird verified the signature before prompting the user; but while the user was confirming the prompt, the underlying add-on file could have been modified and Thunderbird would not have noticed. (CVE-2022-26387)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
