"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779579653 advisory.
- It was possible for certain browser prompts and dialogs to be activated or dismissed unintentionally by
the user due to an incorrect timestamp used to prevent input after page load. This vulnerability affects
Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.7, and Thunderbird < 115.7. (CVE-2024-0742)
- An attacker was able to achieve code execution in the content process by exploiting a use-after-free in
Animation timelines. We have had reports of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild. This
vulnerability affects Firefox < 131.0.2, Firefox ESR < 128.3.1, Firefox ESR < 115.16.1, Thunderbird <
131.0.1, Thunderbird < 128.3.1, and Thunderbird < 115.16.0. (CVE-2024-9680)
- By crafting a malformed file name for an attachment in a multipart message, an attacker can trick
Thunderbird into including a directory listing of /tmp when the message is forwarded or edited as a new
message. This vulnerability could allow attackers to disclose sensitive information from the victim's
system. This vulnerability is not limited to Linux; similar behavior has been observed on Windows as well.
This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 137.0.2 and Thunderbird 128.9.2. (CVE-2025-2830)
- Thunderbird processes the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header to handle attachments which can be
hosted externally. When an email is opened, Thunderbird accesses the specified URL to determine file size,
and navigates to it when the user clicks the attachment. Because the URL is not validated or sanitized, it
can reference internal resources like chrome:// or SMB share file:// links, potentially leading to hashed
Windows credential leakage and opening the door to more serious security issues. This vulnerability was
fixed in Thunderbird 137.0.2 and Thunderbird 128.9.2. (CVE-2025-3522)
- LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) raster image files. In versions 1.2.1 through 1.6.55, `png_set_tRNS` and `png_set_PLTE`
each alias a heap-allocated buffer between `png_struct` and `png_info`, sharing a single allocation across
two structs with independent lifetimes. The `trans_alpha` aliasing has been present since at least libpng
1.0, and the `palette` aliasing since at least 1.2.1. Both affect all prior release lines `png_set_tRNS`
sets `png_ptr->trans_alpha = info_ptr->trans_alpha` (256-byte buffer) and `png_set_PLTE` sets
`info_ptr->palette = png_ptr->palette` (768-byte buffer). In both cases, calling `png_free_data` (with
`PNG_FREE_TRNS` or `PNG_FREE_PLTE`) frees the buffer through `info_ptr` while the corresponding `png_ptr`
pointer remains dangling. Subsequent row-transform functions dereference and, in some code paths, write to
the freed memory. A second call to `png_set_tRNS` or `png_set_PLTE` has the same effect, because both
functions call `png_free_data` internally before reallocating the `info_ptr` buffer. Version 1.6.56 fixes
the issue. (CVE-2026-33416)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
