Please reference CVE/URL list for details

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3216-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to bypass same origin restrictions, obtain     sensitive information, spoof the addressbar, spoof the print dialog, cause a denial of service via     application crash or hang, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5398, CVE-2017-5399, CVE-2017-5400,     CVE-2017-5401, CVE-2017-5402, CVE-2017-5403, CVE-2017-5404, CVE-2017-5405, CVE-2017-5406, CVE-2017-5407,     CVE-2017-5408, CVE-2017-5410, CVE-2017-5412, CVE-2017-5413, CVE-2017-5414, CVE-2017-5415, CVE-2017-5416,     CVE-2017-5417, CVE-2017-5418, CVE-2017-5419, CVE-2017-5420, CVE-2017-5421, CVE-2017-5422, CVE-2017-5426,     CVE-2017-5427)

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.

This update to MozillaThunderbird 51.1.0 fixes security issues and bugs.

In general, these flaws cannot be exploited through email because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially risks in browser or browser-like contexts.

mozilla-nss was updated to NSS 3.28.3

  - This is a patch release to fix binary compatibility     issues. NSS version 3.28, 3.28.1 and 3.28.2 contained     changes that were in violation with the NSS     compatibility promise. ECParams, which is part of the     public API of the freebl/softokn parts of NSS, had been     changed to include an additional attribute. That size     increase caused crashes or malfunctioning with     applications that use that data structure directly, or     indirectly through ECPublicKey, ECPrivateKey,     NSSLOWKEYPublicKey, NSSLOWKEYPrivateKey, or potentially     other data structures that reference ECParams. The     change has been reverted to the original state in bug     bmo#1334108. SECKEYECPublicKey had been extended with a     new attribute, named 'encoding'. If an application     passed type SECKEYECPublicKey to NSS (as part of     SECKEYPublicKey), the NSS library read the uninitialized     attribute. With this NSS release     SECKEYECPublicKey.encoding is deprecated. NSS no longer     reads the attribute, and will always set it to     ECPoint_Undefined. See bug bmo#1340103.

  - requires NSPR >= 4.13.1

  - update to NSS 3.28.2 This is a stability and     compatibility release. Below is a summary of the     changes.

  - Fixed a NSS 3.28 regression in the signature scheme     flexibility that causes connectivity issues between iOS     8 clients and NSS servers with ECDSA certificates     (bmo#1334114)

  - Fixed a possible crash on some Windows systems     (bmo#1323150)

  - Fixed a compatibility issue with TLS clients that do not     provide a list of supported key exchange groups     (bmo#1330612)
