The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2024:1484 advisory.

  - NSS was susceptible to a timing side-channel attack when performing RSA decryption. This attack could     potentially allow an attacker to recover the private data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,     Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2023-5388)

  - An unchecked return value in TLS handshake code could have caused a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-0743)

  - Return registers were overwritten which could have allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. *Note:*     This issue only affected Armv7-A systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2607)

  - `AppendEncodedAttributeValue(), ExtraSpaceNeededForAttrEncoding()` and `AppendEncodedCharacters()` could     have experienced integer overflows, causing underallocation of an output buffer leading to an out of     bounds write. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2608)

  - Using a markup injection an attacker could have stolen nonce values. This could have been used to bypass     strict content security policies. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and     Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2610)

  - A missing delay on when pointer lock was used could have allowed a malicious page to trick a user into     granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird <     115.9. (CVE-2024-2611)

  - If an attacker could find a way to trigger a particular code path in `SafeRefPtr`, it could have triggered     a crash or potentially be leveraged to achieve code execution. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,     Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2612)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 123, Firefox ESR 115.8, and Thunderbird 115.8. 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 < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and     Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2614)

  - To harden ICU against exploitation, the behavior for out-of-memory conditions was changed to crash instead     of attempt to continue. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 115.9 and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2616)

  - An attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object that would allow arbitrary     JavaScript execution in the parent process. Note: This vulnerability affects Desktop Firefox only, it does     not affect mobile versions of Firefox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124.0.1 and Firefox ESR <     115.9.1. (CVE-2024-29944)

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