"The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 60.2.2. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2018-24 advisory.

  - A vulnerability where the JavaScript JIT compiler inlines Array.prototype.push with multiple arguments
    that results in the stack pointer being off by 8 bytes after a bailout. This leaks a memory address to the
    calling function which can be used as part of an exploit inside the sandboxed content process.
    (CVE-2018-12387)

  - A vulnerability in register allocation in JavaScript can lead to type confusion, allowing for an arbitrary
    read and write. This leads to remote code execution inside the sandboxed content process when triggered.
    (CVE-2018-12386)

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