The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 102.10.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2028 advisory.

  - OCSP revocation status of recipient certificates was not checked when sending S/Mime encrypted email, and     revoked certificates would be accepted. Thunderbird versions from 68 to 102.9.1 were affected by this bug.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-0547)

  - Unexpected data returned from the Safe Browsing API could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.10 and Firefox ESR < 102.10.
    (CVE-2023-1945)

  - There exists a use after free/double free in libwebp. An attacker can use the ApplyFiltersAndEncode()     function and loop through to free best.bw and assign best = trial pointer. The second loop will then     return 0 because of an Out of memory error in VP8 encoder, the pointer is still assigned to trial and the     AddressSanitizer will attempt a double free. (CVE-2023-1999)

  - Ribose RNP before 0.16.3 may hang when the input is malformed. (CVE-2023-29479)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a combination of     <code>window.open</code>, fullscreen requests, <code>window.name</code> assignments, and     <code>setInterval</code> calls. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android <     112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29533)

  - Following a Garbage Collector compaction, weak maps may have been accessed before they were correctly     traced. This resulted in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird <     102.10. (CVE-2023-29535)

  - An attacker could cause the memory manager to incorrectly free a pointer that addresses attacker-     controlled memory, resulting in an assertion, memory corruption, or a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android <     112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29536)

  - When handling the filename directive in the Content-Disposition header, the filename would be truncated if     the filename contained a NULL character. This could have led to reflected file download attacks     potentially tricking users to install malware. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android     < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29539)

  - Firefox did not properly handle downloads of files ending in <code>.desktop</code>, which can be     interpreted to run attacker-controlled commands. <br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Linux on certain     Distributions. Other operating systems are unaffected, and Mozilla is unable to enumerate all affected     Linux Distributions.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR <     102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29541)

  - A wrong lowering instruction in the ARM64 Ion compiler resulted in a wrong optimization result. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android <     112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29548)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111 and Firefox ESR 102.9. 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 Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10,     Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10. (CVE-2023-29550)

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