The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6010-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-29537, CVE-2023-29540,     CVE-2023-29543, CVE-2023-29544, CVE-2023-29547, CVE-2023-29548, CVE-2023-29549, CVE-2023-29550,     CVE-2023-29551)

    Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly manage fullscreen notifications using a     combination of window.open, fullscreen requests, window.name assignments, and setInterval calls. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to perform spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-29533)

    Lukas Bernhard discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when doing Garbage Collector     compaction. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-29535)

    Zx from qriousec discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the address to free a pointer provided     to the memory manager. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-29536)

    Alexis aka zoracon discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the URI received by the WebExtension     during a load request. An attacker could potentially exploits this to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-29538)

    Trung Pham discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the filename directive in the Content-     Disposition header. An attacker could possibly exploit this to perform reflected file download attacks     potentially tricking users to install malware. (CVE-2023-29539)

    Ameen Basha M K discovered that Firefox did not properly validate downloads of files ending in .desktop.
    An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-29541)

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.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3391 advisory.

  - Unexpected data returned from the Safe Browsing API could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-1945)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a combination of     <code>window.open</code>, fullscreen requests, <code>window.name</code> assignments, and     <code>setInterval</code> calls. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks.
    (CVE-2023-29533)

  - Following a Garbage Collector compaction, weak maps may have been accessed before they were correctly     traced. This resulted in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-29535)

  - An attacker could cause the memory manager to incorrectly free a pointer that addresses attacker-     controlled memory, resulting in an assertion, memory corruption, or a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-29536)

  - When handling the filename directive in the Content-Disposition header, the filename would be truncated if     the filename contained a NULL character. This could have led to reflected file download attacks     potentially tricking users to install malware.  (CVE-2023-29539)

  - Firefox did not properly handle downloads of files ending in <code>.desktop</code>, which can be     interpreted to run attacker-controlled commands.  This bug only affects Firefox for Linux on certain     Distributions. Other operating systems are unaffected, and Mozilla is unable to enumerate all affected     Linux Distributions.  (CVE-2023-29541)

  - A wrong lowering instruction in the ARM64 Ion compiler resulted in a wrong optimization result.
    (CVE-2023-29548)

  - Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew Osmond, Sebastian Hengst, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla     Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111 and Firefox ESR 102.9. 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.  (CVE-2023-29550)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2023-1806 advisory.

  - Certain malformed OpenPGP messages could trigger incorrect parsing of PKESK/SKESK packets due to a bug in     the Ribose RNP library used by Thunderbird up to version 102.9.1, which would cause the Thunderbird user     interface to hang.

  - Unexpected data returned from the Safe Browsing API could have led to memory corruption and a potentially     exploitable crash.  (CVE-2023-1945)

  - matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. In versions prior to 24.0.0     events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from     functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the     matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to     the consumer. This vulnerability is distinct from GHSA-rfv9-x7hh-xc32 which covers a similar issue. The     issue has been patched in matrix-js-sdk 24.0.0 and users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-28427)
