The version of nss-util installed on the remote host is prior to 3.44.0-4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1942 advisory.

  • Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly sanitized before being copied into memory and used. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11729)

  • When encrypting with a block cipher, if a call to NSC_EncryptUpdate was made with data smaller than the block size, a small out of bounds write could occur. This could have caused heap corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11745)

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