The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6515-1 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-2023-6206, CVE-2023-6212)

    It was discovered that Thudnerbird did not properly manage memory when images were created on the canvas     element. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6204)

    It discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly did not properly manage ownership in ReadableByteStreams. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6207)

    It discovered that Thudnerbird incorrectly did not properly manage copy operations when using Selection     API in X11. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-6208)

    Rachmat Abdul Rokhim discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly handled parsing of relative URLS starting     with ///. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6209)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
