The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5943-1 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, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-0616, CVE-2023-25735, CVE-2023-25737, CVE-2023-25739, CVE-2023-25729,     CVE-2023-25742, CVE-2023-25746)

    Johan Carlsson discovered that Thunderbird did not properly implement CSP policy on a header when using     iframes. An attacker could potentially exploits this to exfiltrate data. (CVE-2023-25728)

    Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Thunderbird was not properly handling background fullscreen scripts when     the window goes into fullscreen mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof the user and     obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-25730)

    Christian Holler discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check the Safe Bag attributes in PKCS 12     certificate bundle. An attacker could possibly use this issue to write to arbitrary memory by sending     malicious PKCS 12 certificate. (CVE-2023-0767)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check the size of the input being encoded in     xpcom. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform out of bound memory write operations.
    (CVE-2023-25732)

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.
