The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 91.13.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1855 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.
    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-2022-2505)

  - When visiting directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected.
    (CVE-2022-36318)

  - When combining CSS properties for overflow and transform, the mouse cursor could interact with different     coordinates than displayed.  (CVE-2022-36319)

  - An attacker could have abused XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another     origin which was displayed in the address bar. This could have been used to fool the user into submitting     data intended for the spoofed origin.  (CVE-2022-38472)

  - Mozilla: Cross-origin XSLT Documents would have inherited the parent's permissions (CVE-2022-38473)

  - A data race could occur in the <code>PK11ChangePW</code> function, potentially leading to a use-after-free     vulnerability.  In Thunderbird, this lock protected the data when a user changed their master password.
    (CVE-2022-38476)

  - Mozilla developer Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in     Thunderbird 102.1. 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-2022-38477)

  - Members the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.1 and Thunderbird     91.12. 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-2022-38478)

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