The installed version of Thunderbird is affected by various security issues :

  • Using a specially crafted UTF-8 URL in a hyperlink, an attacker might be able to exploit a stack buffer overflow in the Mozilla URL parsing routes to execute arbitrary code (MFSA 2008-37).

  • It is possible to bypass the same-origin check in ‘nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect()’ (MFSA 2008-38).

  • Privilege escalation is possible via ‘XPCnativeWrapper’ pollution (MFSA 2008-41).

  • There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that coould lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption (MFSA 2008-42).

  • Certain BOM characters and low surrogate characters, if HTML-escaped, are stripped from JavaScript code before it is executed, which could allow for cross- site scripting attacks (MFSA 2008-43).

  • The ‘resource:’ protocol allows directory traversal on Linux when using URL-encoded slashes, and it can be used to bypass restrictions on local HTML files (MFSA 2008-44).

  • There is a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered when canceling a newsgroup message (MFSA 2008-46).
