RHSA-2021:5014 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and community members Julian Hector, Randell Jesup, Gabriele Svelto, Tyson Smith,
    Christian Holler, and Masayuki Nakano reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 94. 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 < 95, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and
    Thunderbird < 91.4.0. (CVE-2021-4129)

  - Under certain circumstances, asynchronous functions could have caused a navigation to fail but expose the
    target URL. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43536)

  - An incorrect type conversion of sizes from 64bit to 32bit integers allowed an attacker to corrupt memory
    leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR <
    91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43537)

  - By misusing a race in our notification code, an attacker could have forcefully hidden the notification for
    pages that had received full screen and pointer lock access, which could have been used for spoofing
    attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43538)

  - Failure to correctly record the location of live pointers across wasm instance calls resulted in a GC
    occurring within the call not tracing those live pointers. This could have led to a use-after-free causing
    a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0,
    and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43539)

  - When invoking protocol handlers for external protocols, a supplied parameter URL containing spaces was not
    properly escaped. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
    (CVE-2021-43541)

  - Using XMLHttpRequest, an attacker could have identified installed applications by probing error messages
    for loading external protocols. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and
    Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43542)

  - Documents loaded with the CSP sandbox directive could have escaped the sandbox's script restriction by
    embedding additional content. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and
    Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43543)

  - Using the Location API in a loop could have caused severe application hangs and crashes. This
    vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43545)

  - It was possible to recreate previous cursor spoofing attacks against users with a zoomed native cursor.
    This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95. (CVE-2021-43546)

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