The remote Scientific Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SLSA-2021:3791-1 advisory.

  • Mozilla: Use-after-free in MessageTask (CVE-2021-38496)

  • Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 93, Firefox ESR 78.15, and Firefox ESR 91.2 (CVE-2021-38500)

  • Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 93 and Firefox ESR 91.2 (CVE-2021-38501)

  • rust-crossbeam-deque: race condition may lead to double free (CVE-2021-32810)

  • Mozilla: Validation message could have been overlaid on another origin (CVE-2021-38497)

  • Mozilla: Use-after-free of nsLanguageAtomService object (CVE-2021-38498)

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