The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 91.11.0-2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1828 advisory.

    2024-07-03: CVE-2022-29914 was added to this advisory.

    2024-07-03: CVE-2022-29917 was added to this advisory.

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when     displaying the sender of an email, and the sender name contained the Braille Pattern Blank space character     multiple times, Thunderbird displays all spaces. This flaw allows an attacker to send an email message     with the attacker's digital signature that shows an arbitrary sender email address chosen by the attacker.
    If the sender's name started with a false email address, followed by many Braille space characters, the     attacker's email address was not visible. Because Thunderbird compared the invisible sender address with     the signature's email address, if Thunderbird accepted the signing key or certificate, the email was shown     as having a valid digital signature. (CVE-2022-1834)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this issue of when an     OpenPGP digital signature includes information about the date when the signature was created. When     displaying an email that contains a digital signature, it will show the email's date. If the dates were     different, Thunderbird didn't report the email as having an invalid signature. If an attacker performs a     replay attack, in which an old email with old contents is present at a later time, it could lead the     victim to believe that the statements in the email are current. Fixed versions of Thunderbird will require     that the signature's date roughly matches the displayed date of the email. (CVE-2022-2226)

    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)

    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)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue as a malicious     website that could have learned the size of a cross-origin resource that supported Range requests.
    (CVE-2022-31736)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue as a malicious     webpage that could have caused an out-of-bounds write in WebGL, leading to memory corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31737)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when exiting     fullscreen mode, an iframe could have confused the browser about the current state of the fullscreen,     resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. (CVE-2022-31738)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue on arm64; WASM     code could have resulted in incorrect assembly generation, leading to a register allocation problem and a     potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31740)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue as having a     crafted CMS message that could have been processed incorrectly, leading to an invalid memory read and     potential memory corruption. (CVE-2022-31741)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue as an attacker     could have exploited a timing attack by sending a large number of allowCredential entries and detecting     the difference between invalid key handles and cross-origin key handles. This could have led to cross-     origin account linking in violation of WebAuthn goals. (CVE-2022-31742)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of Mozilla     developers and community members reporting memory safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.0.
    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. (CVE-2022-31747)
