"The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 102.12.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2023-003 advisory.

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory's description of this flaw: 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. (CVE-2023-34414)

    The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory's description of this flaw: Mozilla developers and community
    members Gabriele Svelto, Andrew McCreight, the Mozilla Fuzzing Team, Sean Feng, and Sebastian Hengst
    reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113 and Firefox ESR 102.11. 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. (CVE-2023-34416)

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.");
