"The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 140.8.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3219 advisory.

    A flaw was found in libexpat. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially
    crafted XML content with empty external parameter entities. This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference,
    causing the application to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2026-32776)

    A flaw was found in libexpat. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially
    crafted Document Type Definition (DTD) content. This could lead to an infinite loop during parsing,
    resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application using libexpat. (CVE-2026-32777)

    A flaw was found in libexpat. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger a NULL pointer dereference
    in the `setContext` function. This occurs when the system attempts to retry an operation after an out-of-
    memory condition, which can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected application.
    (CVE-2026-32778)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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