The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:4468 advisory.

  - Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting, which could have been used to access image     data from another site in violation of same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116,     Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4045)

  - In some circumstances, a stale value could have been used for a global variable in WASM JIT analysis. This     resulted in incorrect compilation and a potentially exploitable crash in the content process. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4046)

  - A bug in popup notifications delay calculation could have made it possible for an attacker to trick a user     into granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR     < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4047)

  - An out-of-bounds read could have led to an exploitable crash when parsing HTML with DOMParser in low     memory situations. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR <     115.1. (CVE-2023-4048)

  - Race conditions in reference counting code were found through code inspection. These could have resulted     in potentially exploitable use-after-free vulnerabilities. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116,     Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4049)

  - In some cases, an untrusted input stream was copied to a stack buffer without checking its size. This     resulted in a potentially exploitable crash which could have led to a sandbox escape. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4050)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 115, Firefox ESR 115.0, Firefox ESR 102.13, Thunderbird 115.0, and     Thunderbird 102.13. 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. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4056)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 115, Firefox ESR 115.0, and Thunderbird 115.0. 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116 and Firefox ESR < 115.1.

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:4499 advisory.

  - Thunderbird allowed the Text Direction Override Unicode Character in filenames. An email attachment could     be incorrectly shown as being a document file, while in fact it was an executable file. Newer versions of     Thunderbird will strip the character and show the correct file extension. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 115.0.1 and Thunderbird < 102.13.1. (CVE-2023-3417)

This could have caused requests to be sent     with some cookies missing. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 102.14, and Firefox ESR     < 115.1. (CVE-2023-4055)

  - A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using the file open dialog. This could have     led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-4051)

  - The Firefox updater created a directory writable by non-privileged users. When uninstalling Firefox, any     files in that directory would be recursively deleted with the permissions of the uninstalling user     account. This could be combined with creation of a junction (a form of symbolic link) to allow arbitrary     file deletion controlled by the non-privileged user.  This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other     operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-4052)

  - A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using a URL with a scheme handled by an     external program, such as a mailto URL. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing     attacks. (CVE-2023-4053)
