    <p>
    The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla
    Thunderbird:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" and "shutdown" discovered
    that Thunderbird was improperly cloning base objects (MFSA
    2005-56).</li>
    <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" also reported that Thunderbird was
    overly trusting contents, allowing privilege escalation via property
    overrides (MFSA 2005-41, 2005-44), that it failed to validate XHTML DOM
    nodes properly (MFSA 2005-55), and that XBL scripts ran even when
    Javascript is disabled (MFSA 2005-46).</li>
    <li>"shutdown" discovered a
    possibly exploitable crash in InstallVersion.compareTo (MFSA
    2005-50).</li>
    <li>Andreas Sandblad from Secunia reported that a child
    frame can call top.focus() even if the framing page comes from a
    different origin and has overridden the focus() routine (MFSA
    2005-52).</li>
    <li>Georgi Guninski reported missing Install object
    instance checks in the native implementations of XPInstall-related
    JavaScript objects (MFSA 2005-40).</li>
    <li>Finally, Vladimir V.
    Perepelitsa discovered a memory disclosure bug in JavaScript's regular
    expression string replacement when using an anonymous function as the
    replacement argument (CAN-2005-0989 and MFSA 2005-33).</li>
    </ul>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could craft malicious email messages that would
    leverage these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with
    elevated privileges or help in stealing information.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
    </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-1.0.5&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-1.0.5&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
