Fedora Core 6: FEDORA-2007-641 Critical: Thunderbird JavaScript Flaw

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 JavaScript code. A malicious HTML email

message containing JavaScript code could cause Thunderbird

to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user

running Thunderbird. JavaScript support is disabled by

default in Thunderbird; these issues are not exploitable

unless the user has enabled JavaScript. (CVE-2007-3089,

CVE-2007-3734, CVE-2007-3735, CVE-2007-3736, CVE-2007-3737,

Users of Thunderbird are advised to upgrade to these erratum

packages, which contain backported patches that correct
