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-2010-3169)

 

A buffer overflow flaw was found in Thunderbird. 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-2010-2765)

 

A use-after-free flaw and several dangling pointer flaws were found in

Thunderbird. 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-2010-2760, CVE-2010-2767,

CVE-2010-3167, CVE-2010-3168)

 

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Thunderbird. Remote HTML

content could cause Thunderbird to execute JavaScript code with the

permissions of different remote HTML content. (CVE-2010-2768)

 

Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird. None of the

above issues are exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.

 

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.
