"The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 158.0. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2026-109 advisory.

  - Mitigation bypass in the File Handling component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 157.0.1.
    (CVE-2026-106016)

  - Several buffer-growth sites in libmime performed size arithmetic in 32-bit types without overflow checks.
    On a sufficiently large message the growth guard could fail open, or the buffer could be reallocated
    smaller than required, and a subsequent memcpy would then write attacker-controlled data across adjacent
    heap allocations. (CVE-2026-110247)

  - A malicious, compromised, or MITM-controlled Exchange server can return a single well-formed SOAP response
    containing an element with enough attributes to keep Thunderbird's main thread CPU-bound for seconds to
    hours. (CVE-2026-110249)

  - Privilege escalation in the Application Update component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and
    Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109704)

  - Sandbox escape, site isolation issue due to incorrect boundary conditions, use-after-free in the
    Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109705)

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