critical Nessus Plugin ID 208938

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7066-1 advisory.

 Damien Schaeffer discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain memory operations when processing content in the Animation timelines. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to achieve arbitrary code execution.

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

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