<p>
Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular open-source email client from the
Mozilla project.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Thunderbird's
HTML browser engine (CVE-2007-5339) and JavaScript engine
(CVE-2007-5340) that can be exploited to cause a memory corruption.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email
that could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the
execution of arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time for all of these issues, but
some of them can be avoided by disabling JavaScript.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.9&quot;</code>
<p>
All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the latest
version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-2.0.0.9&quot;</code>
