The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-c8549a8c75 advisory.

  • An attacker was able to perform an out-of-bounds read or write on a JavaScript object by fooling range- based bounds check elimination. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124.0.1. (CVE-2024-29943)

  • An attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object that would allow arbitrary JavaScript execution in the parent process. Note: This vulnerability affects Desktop Firefox only, it does not affect mobile versions of Firefox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124.0.1 and Firefox ESR < 115.9.1. (CVE-2024-29944)

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