Fedora Core 3: 2005-247 Critical: Thunderbird GIF Buffer Overflow

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Thunderbird processes GIF

images. It is possible for an attacker to create a specially crafted GIF

image, which when viewed by a victim will execute arbitrary code as the

victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)

has assigned the name CAN-2005-0399 to this issue.

A bug was found in the Thunderbird string handling functions. If a

malicious website is able to exhaust a system's memory, it becomes

possible to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and

Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0255 to

this issue.

Users of Thunderbird are advised to upgrade to this updated package

which contains Thunderbird version 1.0.2 and is not vulnerable to these

issues.
