Georgi Guninski and David Bienvenu discovered buffer overflows in the
|
|
processing of long "Content-Type:" and long non-ASCII MIME headers.
|
|
Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in
|
|
the conversion of a CSS cursor. Different vulnerabilities involving
|
|
memory corruption in the browser engine were also fixed. Mozilla
|
|
Thunderbird also contains less severe vulnerabilities involving
|
|
JavaScript and Java.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted email that
|
|
will trigger one of these vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code. An attacker could also perform cross-site
|
|
scripting attacks, leading to the exposure of sensitive information,
|
|
like user credentials. Note that the execution of JavaScript or Java
|
|
applets is disabled by default and enabling it is strongly discouraged.

<workaround>

|
|
There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.

<p>
|
|
All Mozilla Thunderbird binary release users should upgrade to the
|
|
latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.5.0.9"</code>
