The Mozilla Thunderbird mail client is a redesign of the Mozilla Mail
|
|
component. The goal is to produce a cross-platform stand-alone mail
|
|
application using XUL (XML User Interface Language).

The following vulnerabilities have been reported:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URLss could be made to
|
|
reference remote files.</li>
|
|
<li>Developers in the Mozilla community
|
|
looked for and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
|
|
Mozilla clients.</li>
|
|
<li>"shutdown" reports that cross-site scripting
|
|
(XSS) attacks could be performed using the construct
|
|
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a function that
|
|
appeared to belong to the window in question even after it had been
|
|
navigated to the target site.</li>
|
|
<li>"shutdown" reports that scripts
|
|
granting the UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into the
|
|
equivalent of the far more powerful UniversalXPConnect since they are
|
|
allowed to "read" into a privileged context.</li>
|
|
<li>"moz_bug_r_a4"
|
|
discovered that Named JavaScript functions have a parent object created
|
|
using the standard Object() constructor (ECMA-specified behavior) and
|
|
that this constructor can be redefined by script (also ECMA-specified
|
|
behavior).</li>
|
|
<li>Igor Bukanov and shutdown found additional places
|
|
where an untimely garbage collection could delete a temporary object
|
|
that was in active use.</li>
|
|
<li>Georgi Guninski found potential
|
|
integer overflow issues with long strings in the toSource() methods of
|
|
the Object, Array and String objects as well as string function
|
|
arguments.</li>
|
|
<li>H. D. Moore reported a testcase that was able to
|
|
trigger a race condition where JavaScript garbage collection deleted a
|
|
temporary variable still being used in the creation of a new Function
|
|
object.</li>
|
|
<li>A malicious page can hijack native DOM methods on a
|
|
document object in another domain, which will run the attacker's script
|
|
when called by the victim page.</li>
|
|
<li>Secunia Research has
|
|
discovered a vulnerability which is caused due to an memory corruption
|
|
error within the handling of simultaneously happening XPCOM events.
|
|
This leads to use of a deleted timer object.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages
|
|
containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
|
|
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the
|
|
installation of malware on the user's computer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
