The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-c92eb29264 advisory.

  - When receiving rendering data over IPC `mStream` could have been destroyed when initialized, which could     have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
    (CVE-2023-4573)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks     could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the     callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and     Thunderbird < 115.2. (CVE-2023-4574)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the File Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could     have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks     finished.

(CVE-2023-32210)

  - A type checking bug would have led to invalid code being compiled. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32211)

  - An attacker could have positioned a <code>datalist</code> element to obscure the address bar. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32212)

  - When reading a file, an uninitialized value could have been used as read limit. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32213)

  - Protocol handlers `ms-cxh` and `ms-cxh-full` could have been leveraged to trigger a denial of service.
    *Note: This attack only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.* This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32214)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112 and Firefox ESR 102.10. 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 < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11.
    (CVE-2023-32215)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112. 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 < 113. (CVE-2023-32216)

  - The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the activation-delay Firefox uses to     protect prompts and permission dialogs from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a     malicious page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before navigating to a site with a     certificate error and made the renderer extremely busy at the same time, it could create a gap between     when the error page was loaded and when the display actually refreshed. With the right timing the elicited     clicks could land in that gap and activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34414)

  - When choosing a site-isolated process for a document loaded from a data: URL that was the result of a     redirect, Firefox would load that document in the same process as the site that issued the redirect. This     bypassed the site-isolation protections against Spectre-like attacks on sites that host an open     redirect. Firefox no longer follows HTTP redirects to data: URLs. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     114. (CVE-2023-34415)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113, Firefox ESR 102.11, and Thunderbird 102.12. 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 ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and     Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34416)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113. 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 < 114. (CVE-2023-34417)

  - Insufficient validation in the Drag and Drop API in conjunction with social engineering, may have allowed     an attacker to trick end-users into creating a shortcut to local system files. This could have been     leveraged to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37203)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using an option element by introducing lag     via an expensive computational function. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing     attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37204)

  - The use of RTL Arabic characters in the address bar may have allowed for URL spoofing. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37205)

  - Uploading files which contain symlinks may have allowed an attacker to trick a user into submitting     sensitive data to a malicious website. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37206)

  - A use-after-free condition existed in `NotifyOnHistoryReload` where a `LoadingSessionHistoryEntry` object     was freed and a reference to that object remained. This resulted in a potentially exploitable condition     when the reference to that object was later reused. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.
    (CVE-2023-37209)

  - A website could prevent a user from exiting full-screen mode via alert and prompt calls. This could lead     to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.
    (CVE-2023-37210)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 114. 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 < 115. (CVE-2023-37212)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 117.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-34 advisory.

  - When receiving rendering data over IPC <code>mStream</code> could have been destroyed when initialized,     which could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-4573)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks     could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the     callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2023-4574)

  - When creating a callback over IPC for showing the File Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could     have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks     finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-4575)

  - On Windows, an integer overflow could occur in <code>RecordedSourceSurfaceCreation</code> which resulted     in a heap buffer overflow potentially leaking sensitive data that could have led to a sandbox escape. This     bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-4576)

  - When <code>UpdateRegExpStatics</code> attempted to access <code>initialStringHeap</code> it could already     have been garbage collected prior to entering the function, which could potentially have led to an     exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-4577)

  - When calling <code>JS::CheckRegExpSyntax</code> a Syntax Error could have been set which would end in     calling <code>convertToRuntimeErrorAndClear</code>. A path in the function could attempt to allocate     memory when none is available which would have caused a newly created Out of Memory exception to be     mishandled as a Syntax Error. (CVE-2023-4578)

  - Search queries in the default search engine could appear to have been the currently navigated URL if the     search query itself was a well formed URL. This could have led to a site spoofing another if it had been     maliciously set as the default search engine. (CVE-2023-4579)

  - Push notifications stored on disk in private browsing mode were not being encrypted potentially allowing     the leak of sensitive information. (CVE-2023-4580)

  - Excel <code>.xll</code> add-in files did not have a blocklist entry in Firefox's executable blocklist     which allowed them to be downloaded without any warning of their potential harm. (CVE-2023-4581)

  - Due to large allocation checks in Angle for glsl shaders being too lenient a buffer overflow could have     occured when allocating too much private shader memory on mac OS.  This bug only affects Firefox on macOS.
    Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2023-4582)

  - When checking if the Browsing Context had been discarded in <code>HttpBaseChannel</code>, if the load     group was not available then it was assumed to have already been discarded which was not always the case     for private channels after the private session had ended. (CVE-2023-4583)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 102.14, Firefox ESR 115.1, Thunderbird 102.14, and     Thunderbird 115.1. 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. (CVE-2023-4584)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 115.1, and Thunderbird 115.1. 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. (CVE-2023-4585)
