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-6750-1 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-2024-2609, CVE-2024-3852, CVE-2024-3864)

    Bartek Nowotarski discovered that Thunderbird did not properly limit HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-3302)

    Lukas Bernhard discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory during JIT optimisations,     leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a     denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-3854)

    Lukas Bernhard discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when handling JIT created code     during garbage collection. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service,     or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-3857)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory in the OpenType sanitizer on     32-bit devices, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-3859)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when handling an AlignedBuffer. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2024-3861)

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.
