The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5375 advisory.

  - Sometimes, when invalidating JIT code while following an iterator, the newly generated code could be     overwritten incorrectly. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-25751)

  - When accessing throttled streams, the count of available bytes needed to be checked in the calling     function to be within bounds. This may have lead future code to be incorrect and vulnerable.
    (CVE-2023-25752)

  - While implementing AudioWorklets, some code may have casted one type to another, invalid, dynamic type.
    This could have led to a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-28162)

  - Dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe that was removed during the drag could have led to user     confusion and website spoofing attacks.  (CVE-2023-28164)

  - Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety     bugs present in Thunderbird 102.8. 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.  (CVE-2023-28176)

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