The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5345-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, cause undefined behaviour, spoof the     browser UI, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-22759, CVE-2022-22760, CVE-2022-22761, CVE-2022-22763,     CVE-2022-22764, CVE-2022-26381, CVE-2022-26383, CVE-2022-26384)

    It was discovered that extensions of a particular type could auto-update themselves and bypass the prompt     that requests permissions. If a user were tricked into installing a specially crafted extension, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2022-22754)

    It was discovered that dragging and dropping an image into a folder could result in it being marked as     executable. If a user were tricked into dragging and dropping a specially crafted image, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-22756)

    It was discovered that files downloaded to /tmp were accessible to other users. A local attacker could     exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-26386)

    A TOCTOU bug was discovered when verifying addon signatures during install. A local attacker could     potentially exploit this to trick a user into installing an addon with an invalid signature.
    (CVE-2022-26387)

    An out-of-bounds write by one byte was discovered when processing messages in some circumstances. If a     user were tricked into opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit this to     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0566)

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

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