"The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 3.5. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2009-34 advisory.

  - The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors
    related to (1) nsDOMClassInfo.cpp, (2) JS_HashTableRawLookup, and (3) MirrorWrappedNativeParent and
    js_LockGCThingRT. (CVE-2009-2466)

  - Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 and Thunderbird allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via vectors involving double frame
    construction, related to (1) nsHTMLContentSink.cpp, (2) nsXMLContentSink.cpp, and (3) nsPresShell.cpp, and
    the nsSubDocumentFrame::Reflow function. (CVE-2009-2465)

  - The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors
    related to (1) the frame chain and synchronous events, (2) a SetMayHaveFrame assertion and
    nsCSSFrameConstructor::CreateFloatingLetterFrame, (3) nsCSSFrameConstructor::ConstructFrame, (4) the child
    list and initial reflow, (5) GetLastSpecialSibling, (6) nsFrameManager::GetPrimaryFrameFor and MathML, (7)
    nsFrame::GetBoxAscent, (8) nsCSSFrameConstructor::AdjustParentFrame, (9) nsDOMOfflineResourceList, and
    (10) nsContentUtils::ComparePosition. (CVE-2009-2462)

  - Multiple integer overflows in the (1) PL_Base64Decode and (2) PL_Base64Encode functions in
    nsprpub/lib/libc/src/base64.c in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24, and SeaMonkey
    before 1.1.19 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger buffer overflows.
    (CVE-2009-2463)

  - The nsXULTemplateQueryProcessorRDF::CheckIsSeparator function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12, SeaMonkey
    2.0a1pre, and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and
    application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to loading multiple RDF files in
    a XUL tree element. (CVE-2009-2464)

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