3. Description:

 

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

page containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Thunderbird. (CVE-2015-4513, CVE-2015-7189, CVE-2015-7197, CVE-2015-7198,

CVE-2015-7199, CVE-2015-7200)

 

A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled

certain cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests. A web page

containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to disclose sensitive

information. (CVE-2015-7193)

 

Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited by a specially crafted

HTML mail message because JavaScript is disabled by default for mail

messages. However, they could be exploited in other ways in Thunderbird

(for example, by viewing the full remote content of an RSS feed).

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges Christian Holler, David Major, Jesse Ruderman, Tyson

Smith, Boris Zbarsky, Randell Jesup, Olli Pettay, Karl Tomlinson, Jeff

Walden, Gary Kwong, Looben Yang, Shinto K Anto, Ronald Crane, and Ehsan

Akhgari as the original reporters of these issues.

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Thunderbird 38.4.0. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which

contains Thunderbird version 38.4.0, which corrects these issues. After

installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes to

take effect.
