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-6840-1 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-2024-5688, CVE-2024-5690, CVE-2024-5696, CVE-2024-5700, CVE-2024-5702)

    Luan Herrera discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate the X-Frame-Options header inside     sandboxed iframe. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to bypass sandbox restrictions to open     a new window. (CVE-2024-5691)

    Kirtikumar Anandrao Ramchandani discovered that Thunderbird did not properly track cross-origin tainting     in Offscreen Canvas. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to access image data from another     site in violation of same-origin policy. (CVE-2024-5693)

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.
