The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1491 advisory.

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance, and     portability.

This update upgrades Firefox to version 115.9.1 ESR.

Security Fix(es):

* nss: timing attack against RSA decryption (CVE-2023-5388)

* Mozilla: Crash in NSS TLS method (CVE-2024-0743)

* Mozilla: JIT code failed to save return registers on Armv7-A (CVE-2024-2607)

* Mozilla: Integer overflow could have led to out of bounds write (CVE-2024-2608)

* Mozilla: Improve handling of out-of-memory conditions in ICU (CVE-2024-2616)

* Mozilla: Improper handling of html and body tags enabled CSP nonce leakage (CVE-2024-2610)

* Mozilla: Clickjacking vulnerability could have led to a user accidentally granting permissions     (CVE-2024-2611)

* Mozilla: Self referencing object could have potentially led to a use-after-free (CVE-2024-2612)

* Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 124, Firefox ESR 115.9, and Thunderbird 115.9     (CVE-2024-2614)

* Mozilla: Privileged JavaScript Execution via Event Handlers (CVE-2024-29944)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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