1. Summary:

 

An updated thunderbird package that fixes several security issues is now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

 

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 with the privileges of the

user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-0174, CVE-2010-1200, CVE-2010-1211,

CVE-2010-1214, CVE-2010-2753)

 

An integer overflow flaw was 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 with the

privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-1199)

 

Several use-after-free flaws were found in Thunderbird. Viewing an HTML

mail message containing malicious content could result in Thunderbird

executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-0175, CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177)

 

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird plug-ins interact. It was possible

for a plug-in to reference the freed memory from a different plug-in,

resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the

user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-1198)

 

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the "Content-Disposition:

attachment" HTTP header when the "Content-Type: multipart" HTTP header was

also present. Loading remote HTTP content that allows arbitrary uploads and

relies on the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header to prevent

content from being displayed inline, could be used by an attacker to serve

malicious content to users. (CVE-2010-1197)

 

A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in Thunderbird. Remote HTML

content could steal private data from different remote HTML content

Thunderbird has loaded. (CVE-2010-2754)

 

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which

resolves these issues. All running instances of Thunderbird must be

restarted for the update to take effect.
