The remote Fedora 40 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-cd3a64f43b 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 attacker could have leveraged the Windows Error Reporter to run arbitrary code on the system escaping     the sandbox. *Note:* This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are     unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2605)

  - Passing invalid data could have led to invalid wasm values being created, such as arbitrary integers     turning into pointer values. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124. (CVE-2024-2606)

  - 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)

  - The permission prompt input delay could expire while the window is not in focus. This makes it vulnerable     to clickjacking by malicious websites. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and     Thunderbird < 115.10. (CVE-2024-2609)

  - 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)

  - Data was not properly sanitized when decoding a QUIC ACK frame; this could have led to unrestricted memory     consumption and a crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124. (CVE-2024-2613)

  - 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)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 123. 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. (CVE-2024-2615)

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