The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6368-1 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-2023-4573, CVE-2023-4574, CVE-2023-4575, CVE-2023-4581, CVE-2023-4584)

    It was discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when handling WebP images. If a user     were tricked into opening a malicious WebP image file, an attacker could potentially exploit these to     cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-4863)

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.
