"The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 60.4. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2018-31 advisory.

  - A potential vulnerability leading to an integer overflow can occur during buffer size calculations for
    images when a raw value is used instead of the checked value. This leads to a possible out-of-bounds
    write. (CVE-2018-18498)

  - A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in <code>TextureStorage11</code> within the ANGLE
    graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2018-17466)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection element due to a weak reference to the
    <code>select</code> element in the <code>options</code> collection. This results in a potentially
    exploitable crash. (CVE-2018-18492)

  - A buffer overflow can occur in the Skia library during buffer offset calculations with hardware
    accelerated canvas 2D actions due to the use of 32-bit calculations instead of 64-bit. This results in a
    potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2018-18493)

  - A same-origin policy violation allowing the theft of cross-origin URL entries when using the Javascript
    <code>location</code> property to cause a redirection to another site using
    <code>performance.getEntries()</code>. This is a same-origin policy violation and could allow for data
    theft. (CVE-2018-18494)

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