3. Description:

 

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of some malformed HTML mail

content. An HTML mail message containing such malicious content could cause

Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user

running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1235, CVE-2008-1236,

CVE-2008-1237)

 

Several flaws were found in the display of malformed web content. An HTML

mail message containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick

a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-1234,

CVE-2008-1238, CVE-2008-1241)

 

Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; the above

issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.

 

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
