mozilla-thunderbird - several

Several problems have been discovered in Mozilla Thunderbird, the
standalone mail client of the Mozilla suite. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

• CAN-2005-0989
  Remote attackers could read portions of heap memory into a
  Javascript string via the lambda replace method.

• CAN-2005-1159
  The Javascript interpreter could be tricked to continue execution
  at the wrong memory address, which may allow attackers to cause a
  denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute
  arbitrary code.

• CAN-2005-1160
  Remote attackers could override certain properties or methods of
  DOM nodes and gain privileges.

• CAN-2005-1532
  Remote attackers could override certain properties or methods due
  to missing proper limitation of Javascript eval and Script objects
  and gain privileges.

• CAN-2005-2261
  XML scripts ran even when Javascript disabled.

• CAN-2005-2265
  Missing input sanitising of InstallVersion.compareTo() can cause
  the application to crash.

• CAN-2005-2266
  Remote attackers could steal sensitive information such as cookies
  and passwords from web sites by accessing data in alien frames.

• CAN-2005-2269
  Remote attackers could modify certain tag properties of DOM nodes
  that could lead to the execution of arbitrary script or code.

• CAN-2005-2270
  The Mozilla browser family does not properly clone base objects,
  which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems
since it does not contain Mozilla Thunderbird packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.2-2.sarge1.0.6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla Thunderbird package.
