"The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 115.5. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2023-52 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 119, Firefox ESR 115.4, and Thunderbird 115.4. Some of these bugs
    showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been
    exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6212)

  - On some systemsdepending on the graphics settings and driversit was possible to force an out-of-
    bounds read and leak memory data into the images created on the canvas element. (CVE-2023-6204)

  - It was possible to cause the use of a MessagePort after it had already been freed, which could potentially
    have led to an exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-6205)

  - The black fade animation when exiting fullscreen is roughly the length of the anti-clickjacking delay on
    permission prompts. It was possible to use this fact to surprise users by luring them to click where the
    permission grant button would be about to appear. (CVE-2023-6206)

  - Ownership mismanagement led to a use-after-free in ReadableByteStreams (CVE-2023-6207)

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