The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1725 advisory.

  - When viewing an email message A, which contains an attached message B, where B is encrypted or digitally     signed or both, Thunderbird may show an incorrect encryption or signature status. After opening and     viewing the attached message B, when returning to the display of message A, the message A might be shown     with the security status of message B. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9. (CVE-2022-1520)

  - Documents in deeply-nested cross-origin browsing contexts could have obtained permissions granted to the     top-level origin, bypassing the existing prompt and wrongfully inheriting the top-level permissions. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100. (CVE-2022-29909)

  - An improper implementation of the new iframe sandbox keyword <code>allow-top-navigation-by-user-     activation</code> could lead to script execution without <code>allow-scripts</code> being present. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100. (CVE-2022-29911)

  - Requests initiated through reader mode did not properly omit cookies with a SameSite attribute. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100. (CVE-2022-29912)

  - The parent process would not properly check whether the Speech Synthesis feature is enabled, when     receiving instructions from a child process. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9.
    (CVE-2022-29913)

  - When reusing existing popups Firefox would have allowed them to cover the fullscreen notification UI,     which could have enabled browser spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox     ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100. (CVE-2022-29914)

  - Firefox behaved slightly differently for already known resources when loading CSS resources involving CSS     variables. This could have been used to probe the browser history. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird     < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100. (CVE-2022-29916)

  - Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, Tom Ritter and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported     memory safety bugs present in Firefox 99 and Firefox ESR 91.8. 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 < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100.
    (CVE-2022-29917)
