The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6717-1 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-2024-0743, CVE-2024-2611,

    CVE-2024-2614)

    Hubert Kario discovered that Thunderbird had a timing side-channel when

    performing RSA decryption. A remote attacker could possibly use this

    issue to recover sensitive information. (CVE-2023-5388)

    Gary Kwong discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly updated return

    registers for JIT code on Armv7-A systems. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-2607)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory during character encoding. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-2608)

    Georg Felber and Marco Squarcina discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly

    handled html and body tags. An attacker who was able to inject markup into a page otherwise protected by a     Content Security Policy may have been able

    obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2024-2610)

    Ronald Crane discovered a use-after-free in Thunderbird when handling code in SafeRefPtr. An attacker     could potentially exploit this issue to cause a

    denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-2612)

    Ryan VanderMeulen and Dan Minor discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory conditions in     ICU. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-2616)

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.
