The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 91.6.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1763 advisory.

  • Mozilla developers Paul Adenot and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 96 and Firefox ESR 91.5. 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 < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22764)

  • It was possible to construct specific XSLT markup that would be able to bypass an iframe sandbox. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2021-4140)

  • Constructing audio sinks could have lead to a race condition when playing audio files and closing windows.
    This could have lead to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2022-22737)

  • Applying a CSS filter effect could have accessed out of bounds memory. This could have lead to a heap- buffer-overflow causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2022-22738)

  • Malicious websites could have tricked users into accepting launching a program to handle an external URL protocol. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5.
    (CVE-2022-22739)

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