The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4500 advisory.
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance, and portability.
Security Fix(es):
* Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 128, Firefox ESR 115.13, and Thunderbird 115.13 (CVE-2024-6604)
* Mozilla: Race condition in permission assignment (CVE-2024-6601)
* Mozilla: Memory corruption in thread creation (CVE-2024-6603)
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.
