The version of mozilla-firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 102.9.0esr / 111.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-073-01 advisory.

  • Sometimes, when invalidating JIT code while following an iterator, the newly generated code could be overwritten incorrectly. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-25751)

  • When accessing throttled streams, the count of available bytes needed to be checked in the calling function to be within bounds. This may have lead future code to be incorrect and vulnerable.
    (CVE-2023-25752)

  • While implementing AudioWorklets, some code may have casted one type to another, invalid, dynamic type.
    This could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-28162)

  • When downloading files through the Save As dialog on Windows with suggested filenames containing environment variable names, Windows would have resolved those in the context of the current user. This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected. (CVE-2023-28163)

  • Dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe that was removed during the drag could have led to user confusion and website spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-28164)

  • Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 110 and Firefox ESR 102.8. 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-2023-28176)

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