The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6074-1 advisory.

  - In multiple cases browser prompts could have been obscured by popups controlled by content. These could     have led to potential user confusion and spoofing attacks.  (CVE-2023-32205)

  - An out-of-bound read could have led to a crash in the RLBox Expat driver.  (CVE-2023-32206)

  - A missing delay in popup notifications could have made it possible for an attacker to trick a user into     granting permissions.  (CVE-2023-32207)

  - Service workers could reveal script base URL due to dynamic <code>import()</code>.  (CVE-2023-32208)

  - A maliciously crafted favicon could have led to an out of memory crash.  (CVE-2023-32209)

  - Documents were incorrectly assuming an ordering of principal objects when ensuring we were loading an     appropriately privileged principal. In certain circumstances it might have been possible to cause a     document to be loaded with a higher privileged principal than intended.  (CVE-2023-32210)

  - A type checking bug would have led to invalid code being compiled.  (CVE-2023-32211)

  - An attacker could have positioned a <code>datalist</code> element to obscure the address bar.
    (CVE-2023-32212)

  - When reading a file, an uninitialized value could have been used as read limit.  (CVE-2023-32213)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Gabriele Svelto, Andrew Osmond, Emily McDonough, Sebastian     Hengst, Andrew McCreight and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112     and Firefox ESR 102.10. 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-2023-32215)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Ronald Crane, Andrew McCreight, Randell Jesup and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112. 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-2023-32216)

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