The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6903-1 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-2024-6600, CVE-2024-6601, CVE-2024-6604)

    Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain memory operations in the NSS. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-6602)

    Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory during thread creation. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

    (CVE-2024-6603)

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