The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5538 advisory.

  - It was possible for certain browser prompts and dialogs to be activated or dismissed unintentionally by     the user due to an insufficient activation-delay. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR <     115.4, and Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5721)

  - Drivers are not always robust to extremely large draw calls and in some cases this scenario could have led     to a crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4, and Thunderbird < 115.4.1.
    (CVE-2023-5724)

  - A malicious installed WebExtension could open arbitrary URLs, which under the right circumstance could be     leveraged to collect sensitive user data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4,     and Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5725)

  - During garbage collection extra operations were performed on a object that should not be. This could have     led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4, and     Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5728)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 118, Firefox ESR 115.3, and Thunderbird 115.3. 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 < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4, and     Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5730)

  - 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.
