The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5156 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.9. 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 < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10.
    (CVE-2022-31747)

  - A malicious website could have learned the size of a cross-origin resource that supported Range requests.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31736)

  - A malicious webpage could have caused an out-of-bounds write in WebGL, leading to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox     ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31737)

  - When exiting fullscreen mode, an iframe could have confused the browser about the current state of     fullscreen, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31738)

  - On arm64, WASM code could have resulted in incorrect assembly generation leading to a register allocation     problem, and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox <     101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10. (CVE-2022-31740)
