Fedora 7: FEDORA-2008-2118 Critical: Thunderbird HTML Flaws

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws

were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content.

A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to

crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.

(CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws

were found in the way Thunderbird displayed malformed HTML mail content. A HTML

mail message containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into

surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was

found in the way Thunderbird handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain

extensions installed, it could allow a malicious HTML mail message to steal

sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation

of Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0418) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by

default in Thunderbird; the above issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript

is enabled. A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird saves certain text files.

If a remote site offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain",

Thunderbird will not show future "text/plain" content to the user, forcing them

to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592) Users of

thunderbird are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to resolve these issues.
