The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 82.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-45 advisory.
Vec::from_iter
has allocated capacity that same as the number of iterator elements. Vec::from_iter
does not actually guarantee that and may allocate extra memory. The destructor of the bounded
channel reconstructs Vec
from the raw pointer based on the incorrect assumes described above. This is unsound and causing deallocation with the incorrect capacity when Vec::from_iter
has allocated different sizes with the number of iterator elements. This has been fixed in crossbeam-channel 0.4.4. (CVE-2020-15254)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.

- Crossbeam is a set of tools for concurrent programming. In crossbeam-channel before version 0.4.4, the
bounded channel incorrectly assumes that `Vec::from_iter` has allocated capacity that same as the number
of iterator elements. `Vec::from_iter` does not actually guarantee that and may allocate extra memory. The
destructor of the `bounded` channel reconstructs `Vec` from the raw pointer based on the incorrect assumes
described above. This is unsound and causing deallocation with the incorrect capacity when
`Vec::from_iter` has allocated different sizes with the number of iterator elements. This has been fixed
in crossbeam-channel 0.4.4. (CVE-2020-15254)
