The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 115.14.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2024-030 advisory.

Insufficient checks when processing graphics shared memory could have led to memory corruption. This could     be leveraged by an attacker to perform a sandbox escape. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox     ESR < 115.14, Firefox ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and Thunderbird < 115.14. (CVE-2024-7519)

Incomplete WebAssembly exception handing could have led to a use-after-free. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, and Firefox ESR < 128.1. (CVE-2024-7521)

Editor code failed to check an attribute value. This could have led to an out-of-bounds read. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, Firefox ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and     Thunderbird < 115.14. (CVE-2024-7522)

Firefox adds web-compatibility shims in place of some tracking scripts blocked by Enhanced Tracking     Protection.  On a site protected by Content Security Policy in strict-dynamic mode, an attacker able to     inject an HTML element could have used a DOM Clobbering attack on some of the shims and achieved XSS,     bypassing the CSP strict-dynamic protection. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR <     115.14, and Firefox ESR < 128.1. (CVE-2024-7524)

It was possible for a web extension with minimal permissions to create a `StreamFilter` which could be     used to read and modify the response body of requests on any site. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, Firefox ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and Thunderbird < 115.14.
(CVE-2024-7525)

ANGLE failed to initialize parameters which led to reading from uninitialized memory. This could be     leveraged to leak sensitive data from memory. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR <     115.14, Firefox ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and Thunderbird < 115.14. (CVE-2024-7526)

Unexpected marking work at the start of sweeping could have led to a use-after-free. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, Firefox ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and Thunderbird <     115.14. (CVE-2024-7527)

The date picker could partially obscure security prompts. This could be used by a malicious site to trick     a user into granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, Firefox     ESR < 128.1, Thunderbird < 128.1, and Thunderbird < 115.14. (CVE-2024-7529)

Calling `PK11_Encrypt()` in NSS using CKM_CHACHA20 and the same buffer for input and output can result in     plaintext on an Intel Sandy Bridge processor. In Firefox this only affects the QUIC header protection     feature when the connection is using the ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suite. The most likely outcome is     connection failure, but if the connection persists despite the high packet loss it could be possible for a     network observer to identify packets as coming from the same source despite a network path change. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 129, Firefox ESR < 115.14, and Firefox ESR < 128.1. (CVE-2024-7531)

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.
