"The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 72.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-01 advisory, including the following:

  - During the initialization of a new content process, a pointer offset can be manipulated leading to
    memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash in the parent process. (CVE-2019-17015)

  - When pasting a <style> tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS sanitizer incorrectly
    rewrites a @namespace rule. This could allow for injection into certain types of websites resulting in
    data exfiltration. (CVE-2019-17016)

  - Due to a missing case handling object types, a type confusion vulnerability could occur, resulting in a
    crash. We presume that with enough effort that it could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2019-17017)

  - When in Private Browsing Mode on Windows 10, the Windows keyboard may retain word suggestions to improve
    the accuracy of the keyboard. (CVE-2019-17018)

  - When Python was installed on Windows, a python file being served with the MIME type of text/plain could
    be executed by Python instead of being opened as a text file when the Open option was selected upon
    download. (CVE-2019-17019)

  - If an XML file is served with a Content Security Policy and the XML file includes an XSL stylesheet, the
    Content Security Policy will not be applied to the contents of the XSL stylesheet. If the XSL sheet e.g.
    includes JavaScript, it would bypass any of the restrictions of the Content Security Policy applied to
    the XML document. (CVE-2019-17020)

  - During the initialization of a new content process, a race condition occurs that can allow a content
    process to disclose heap addresses from the parent process. (CVE-2019-17021)

  - When pasting a <style> tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS sanitizer does not escape
    < and > characters. Because the resulting string is pasted directly into the text node of the element
    this does not result in a direct injection into the webpage; however, if a webpage subsequently copies
    the node's innerHTML, assigning it to another innerHTML, this would result in an XSS vulnerability. Two
    WYSIWYG editors were identified with this behavior, more may exist. (CVE-2019-17022)
    
  - After a HelloRetryRequest has been sent, the client may negotiate a lower protocol that TLS 1.3,
    resulting in an invalid state transition in the TLS State Machine. If the client gets into this state,
    incoming Application Data records will be ignored. (CVE-2019-17023)

  - Mozilla developers Jason Kratzer, Christian Holler, and Bob Clary reported memory safety bugs present in
    Firefox 71 and Firefox ESR 68.3. 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-2019-17024)

  - Mozilla developers Karl Tomlinson, Jason Kratzer, Tyson Smith, Jon Coppeard, and Christian Holler
    reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 71. 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-2019-17025)

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