The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 78.11.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1681 advisory.

  • OpenPGP secret keys that were imported using Thunderbird version 78.8.1 up to version 78.10.1 were stored unencrypted on the user’s local disk. The master password protection was inactive for those keys. Version 78.10.2 will restore the protection mechanism for newly imported keys, and will automatically protect keys that had been imported using affected Thunderbird versions. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.10.2. (CVE-2021-29956)

  • If a MIME encoded email contains an OpenPGP inline signed or encrypted message part, but also contains an additional unprotected part, Thunderbird did not indicate that only parts of the message are protected.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.10.2. (CVE-2021-29957)

  • Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 88 and Firefox ESR 78.11. 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 Thunderbird < 78.11, Firefox < 89, and Firefox ESR < 78.11. (CVE-2021-29967)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
