The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 115.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the mfsa2023-44 advisory.

  • Specific handling of an attacker-controlled VP8 media stream could lead to a heap buffer overflow in the content process. We are aware of this issue being exploited in other products in the wild. (CVE-2023-5217)

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