The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-80549d73b9 advisory.

  - When receiving rendering data over IPC `mStream` could have been destroyed when initialized, which could     have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4573)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks     could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the     callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and     Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4574)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the File Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could     have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks     finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and     Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4575)

  - On Windows, an integer overflow could occur in `RecordedSourceSurfaceCreation` which resulted in a heap     buffer overflow potentially leaking sensitive data that could have led to a sandbox escape. *This bug only     affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox <     117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4576)

  - When `UpdateRegExpStatics` attempted to access `initialStringHeap` it could already have been garbage     collected prior to entering the function, which could potentially have led to an exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4577)

  - When calling `JS::CheckRegExpSyntax` a Syntax Error could have been set which would end in calling     `convertToRuntimeErrorAndClear`. A path in the function could attempt to allocate memory when none is     available which would have caused a newly created Out of Memory exception to be mishandled as a Syntax     Error. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4578)

  - Search queries in the default search engine could appear to have been the currently navigated URL if the     search query itself was a well formed URL. This could have led to a site spoofing another if it had been     maliciously set as the default search engine. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117. (CVE-2023-4579)

  - Push notifications stored on disk in private browsing mode were not being encrypted potentially allowing     the leak of sensitive information. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and     Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4580)

  - Excel `.xll` add-in files did not have a blocklist entry in Firefox's executable blocklist which allowed     them to be downloaded without any warning of their potential harm. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4581)

  - Due to large allocation checks in Angle for glsl shaders being too lenient a buffer overflow could have     occured when allocating too much private shader memory on mac OS. *This bug only affects Firefox on macOS.
    Other operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2,     and Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4582)

  - When checking if the Browsing Context had been discarded in `HttpBaseChannel`, if the load group was not     available then it was assumed to have already been discarded which was not always the case for private     channels after the private session had ended. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR <     115.2, and Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4583)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 102.14, Firefox ESR 115.1, Thunderbird 102.14, and     Thunderbird 115.1. 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 <     117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4584)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 115.1, and Thunderbird 115.1. 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 < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and     Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4585)

  - An attacker could have created a malicious link using bidirectional characters to spoof the location in     the address bar when visited. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.4, and     Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5732)

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