The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4122-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information, bypass     Content Security Policy (CSP) protections, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks, cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-5849, CVE-2019-11734,     CVE-2019-11735, CVE-2019-11737, CVE-2019-11738, CVE-2019-11740, CVE-2019-11742, CVE-2019-11743,     CVE-2019-11744, CVE-2019-11746, CVE-2019-11748, CVE-2019-11749, CVE-2019-11750, CVE-2019-11752)

    It was discovered that a compromised content process could log in to a malicious Firefox Sync account. An     attacker could potentially exploit this, in combination with another vulnerability, to disable the     sandbox. (CVE-2019-9812)

    It was discovered that addons.mozilla.org and accounts.firefox.com could be loaded in to the same content     process. An attacker could potentially exploit this, in combination with another vulnerability that     allowed a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, to modify browser settings. (CVE-2019-11741)

    It was discovered that the Forget about this site feature in the history pane removes HTTP Strict     Transport Security (HSTS) settings for sites on the pre-load list. An attacker could potentially exploit     this to bypass the protections offered by HSTS. (CVE-2019-11747)
