3. Description:

 

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

 

A race condition flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled Document

Object Model (DOM) element properties. 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-2010-3765)

 

Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird. The

CVE-2010-3765 issue is not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.

 

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which

resolves this issue. All running instances of Thunderbird must be restarted

for the update to take effect.
