The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-26 advisory. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 68.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-26 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4150-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that encrypted S/MIME parts in a multipart message can leak plaintext contents when     included in a HTML reply or forward in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to replying to or     forwarding a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2019-11739)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive     information, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, scause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2019-11740, CVE-2019-11742, CVE-2019-11743, CVE-2019-11744, CVE-2019-11746, CVE-2019-11752)
