The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-4891 advisory.
Mozilla: Browser window spoof using fullscreen mode (CVE-2022-31738)
Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.9. 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-2022-31747)
When displaying the sender of an email, and the sender name contained the Braille Pattern Blank space character multiple times, Thunderbird would have displayed all the spaces. This could have been used by an attacker to send an email message with the attacker’s digital signature, that was shown with an arbitrary sender email address chosen by the attacker. If the sender name started with a false email address, followed by many Braille space characters, the attacker’s email address was not visible. Because Thunderbird compared the invisible sender address with the signature’s email address, if the signing key or certificate was accepted by Thunderbird, the email was shown as having a valid digital signature.
(CVE-2022-1834)
Mozilla: Cross-Origin resource’s length leaked (CVE-2022-31736)
A malicious webpage could have caused an out-of-bounds write in WebGL, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31737)
Mozilla: Querying a WebAuthn token with a large number of allowCredential entries may have leaked cross- origin information (CVE-2022-31742)
Mozilla: Uninitialized variable leads to invalid memory read (CVE-2022-31741)
On arm64, WASM code could have resulted in incorrect assembly generation leading to a register allocation problem, and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31740)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
