The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6405-1 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-2023-4057, CVE-2023-4577, CVE-2023-4578, CVE-2023-4583, CVE-2023-4585, CVE-2023-5169,     CVE-2023-5171, CVE-2023-5176)

    Andrew McCreight discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage during the worker lifecycle. An     attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3600)

    Harveer Singh discovered that Thunderbird did not store push notifications in private browsing mode in     encrypted form. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-4580)

    Clment Lecigne discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory when handling VP8 media     stream. An attacker-controlled VP8 media stream could lead to a heap buffer overflow in the content     process, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5217)

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3898-1 advisory.

  - A compromised content process could have provided malicious data to `FilterNodeD2D1` resulting in an out-     of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5168)

  - A compromised content process could have provided malicious data in a `PathRecording` resulting in an out-     of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5169)

  - During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing     an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5171)

  - If Windows failed to duplicate a handle during process creation, the sandbox code may have inadvertently     freed a pointer twice, resulting in a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. *This bug only     affects Firefox on Windows when run in non-standard configurations (such as using `runas`). Other     operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and     Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5174)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. 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 < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and     Thunderbird < 115.3. (CVE-2023-5176)
