The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 115.9.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2505 advisory.

    `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)

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

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