Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202312-03 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

 - 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32205)

 - An out-of-bound read could have led to a crash in the RLBox Expat driver. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32206)

 - A missing delay in popup notifications could have made it possible for an attacker to trick a user into granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32207)

 - A type checking bug would have led to invalid code being compiled. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32211)

 - An attacker could have positioned a <code>datalist</code> element to obscure the address bar. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32212)

 - When reading a file, an uninitialized value could have been used as read limit. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32213)

 - Protocol handlers `ms-cxh` and `ms-cxh-full` could have been leveraged to trigger a denial of service.
 *Note: This attack only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32214)

 - 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11.
 (CVE-2023-32215)

 - The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the activation-delay Firefox uses to protect prompts and permission dialogs from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a malicious page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before navigating to a site with a certificate error and made the renderer extremely busy at the same time, it could create a gap between when the error page was loaded and when the display actually refreshed. With the right timing the elicited clicks could land in that gap and activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site.
 This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34414)

 - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113, Firefox ESR 102.11, and Thunderbird 102.12. 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 ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34416)

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

Solution
