Fedora 9 Update: Security Advisory for Thunderbird HTML Vulnerability

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 as the user running Thunderbird.

(CVE-2009-0040, CVE-2009-0352, CVE-2009-0353, CVE-2009-0772, CVE-2009-0774,

CVE-2009-0775) Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was

processed. An HTML mail message containing specially-crafted content could

potentially trick a Thunderbird user into surrendering sensitive information.

(CVE-2009-0355, CVE-2009-0776) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by

default in Thunderbird. None of the above issues are exploitable unless

JavaScript is enabled.
