3. Description:

 

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed HTML mail content.

An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird

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

Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-5014, CVE-2008-5016, CVE-2008-5017, CVE-2008-5018,

CVE-2008-5021)

 

Several flaws were found in the way malformed HTML mail content was

processed. An HTML mail message containing specially-crafted content could

potentially trick a Thunderbird user into surrendering sensitive

information. (CVE-2008-5012, CVE-2008-5022, CVE-2008-5024)

 

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to these updated packages, which

resolve these issues.
