"The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 53.0. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2017-10 advisory.
- Fixed potential buffer overflows in generated Firefox code due to
[CVE-2016-6354](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-6354) issue in Flex.
(CVE-2017-5469)
- A use-after-free vulnerability in SMIL animation functions occurs when pointers to animation elements in
an array are dropped from the animation controller while still in use. This results in a potentially
exploitable crash. (CVE-2017-5433)
- A use-after-free vulnerability occurs during transaction processing in the editor during design mode
interactions. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2017-5435)
- An out-of-bounds write in the Graphite 2 library triggered with a maliciously crafted Graphite font. This
results in a potentially exploitable crash. This issue was fixed in the Graphite 2 library as well as
Mozilla products. (CVE-2017-5436)
- An out-of-bounds write during Base64 decoding operation in the Network Security Services (NSS) library due
to insufficient memory being allocated to the buffer. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. The
NSS library has been updated to fix this issue to address this issue and Firefox 53 has been updated with
NSS version 3.29.5. (CVE-2017-5461)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
