The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2024-1485 advisory.

  - To harden ICU against exploitation, the behavior for out-of-memory conditions was changed to crash instead     of attempt to continue. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 115.9 and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2616)

  - A missing delay on when pointer lock was used could have allowed a malicious page to trick a user into     granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird <     115.9. (CVE-2024-2611)

  - An attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object that would allow arbitrary     JavaScript execution in the parent process. Note: This vulnerability affects Desktop Firefox only, it does     not affect mobile versions of Firefox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124.0.1 and Firefox ESR <     115.9.1. (CVE-2024-29944)

  - If an attacker could find a way to trigger a particular code path in `SafeRefPtr`, it could have triggered     a crash or potentially be leveraged to achieve code execution. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,     Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2612)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 123, Firefox ESR 115.8, and Thunderbird 115.8. 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 < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and     Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2614)

  - `AppendEncodedAttributeValue(), ExtraSpaceNeededForAttrEncoding()` and `AppendEncodedCharacters()` could     have experienced integer overflows, causing underallocation of an output buffer leading to an out of     bounds write. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2608)

  - NSS was susceptible to a timing side-channel attack when performing RSA decryption. This attack could     potentially allow an attacker to recover the private data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,     Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2023-5388)

  - Return registers were overwritten which could have allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. *Note:*     This issue only affected Armv7-A systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2607)

  - An unchecked return value in TLS handshake code could have caused a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-0743)

  - Using a markup injection an attacker could have stolen nonce values. This could have been used to bypass     strict content security policies. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and     Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2610)

  - An unchecked return value in TLS handshake code could have caused a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-0743)

  - The encrypted subject of an email message could be incorrectly and permanently assigned to an arbitrary     other email message in Thunderbird's local cache. Consequently, when replying to the contaminated email     message, the user might accidentally leak the confidential subject to a third party. While this update     fixes the bug and avoids future message contamination, it does not automatically repair existing     contaminations. Users are advised to use the repair folder functionality, which is available from the     context menu of email folders, which will erase incorrect subject assignments. This vulnerability affects     Thunderbird < 115.8.1. (CVE-2024-1936)

  - Return registers were overwritten which could have allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. *Note:*     This issue only affected Armv7-A systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

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-2024:1002-1 advisory.

  - NSS was susceptible to a timing side-channel attack when performing RSA decryption. This attack could     potentially allow an attacker to recover the private data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,     Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2023-5388)

  - An unchecked return value in TLS handshake code could have caused a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-0743)

  - When storing and re-accessing data on a networking channel, the length of buffers may have been confused,     resulting in an out-of-bounds memory read. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 123, Firefox ESR < 115.8,     and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1546)

  - Through a series of API calls and redirects, an attacker-controlled alert dialog could have been displayed     on another website (with the victim website's URL shown). This vulnerability affects Firefox < 123,     Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1547)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a dropdown select input element. This     could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 123,     Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1548)

  - If a website set a large custom cursor, portions of the cursor could have overlapped with the permission     dialog, potentially resulting in user confusion and unexpected granted permissions. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 123, Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1549)

  - A malicious website could have used a combination of exiting fullscreen mode and `requestPointerLock` to     cause the user's mouse to be re-positioned unexpectedly, which could have led to user confusion and     inadvertently granting permissions they did not intend to grant. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 123,     Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1550)

  - Set-Cookie response headers were being incorrectly honored in multipart HTTP responses. If an attacker     could control the Content-Type response header, as well as control part of the response body, they could     inject Set-Cookie response headers that would have been honored by the browser. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 123, Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1551)

  - Incorrect code generation could have led to unexpected numeric conversions and potential undefined     behavior.*Note:* This issue only affects 32-bit ARM devices. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 123,     Firefox ESR < 115.8, and Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1552)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 122, Firefox ESR 115.7, and Thunderbird 115.7. 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 < 123, Firefox ESR < 115.8, and     Thunderbird < 115.8. (CVE-2024-1553)

  - An attacker could have leveraged the Windows Error Reporter to run arbitrary code on the system escaping     the sandbox. *Note:* This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are     unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.
    (CVE-2024-2605)

  - Return registers were overwritten which could have allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. *Note:*     This issue only affected Armv7-A systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2607)

  - `AppendEncodedAttributeValue(), ExtraSpaceNeededForAttrEncoding()` and `AppendEncodedCharacters()` could     have experienced integer overflows, causing underallocation of an output buffer leading to an out of     bounds write.
