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-6015-1 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-2023-1945, CVE-2023-29548, CVE-2023-29550)

    Paul Menzel discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate OCSP revocation status of recipient     certificates when sending S/Mime encrypted email. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to     perform spoofing attack. (CVE-2023-0547)

    Ribose RNP Team discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when parsing certain OpenPGP     messages. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-29479)

    Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage fullscreen notifications using a     combination of window.open, fullscreen requests, window.name assignments, and setInterval calls. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to perform spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-29533)

    Lukas Bernhard discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when doing Garbage Collector     compaction. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-29535)

    Zx from qriousec discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate the address to free a pointer     provided to the memory manager. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2023-29536)

    Trung Pham discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate the filename directive in the Content-     Disposition header. An attacker could possibly exploit this to perform reflected file download attacks     potentially tricking users to install malware. (CVE-2023-29539)

    Ameen Basha M K discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate downloads of files ending in     .desktop. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-29541)

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.
