Synopsis:	Critical: thunderbird security update
Issue date:	2007-05-30
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-1362 CVE-2007-1558 CVE-2007-2867
                 CVE-2007-2868 CVE-2007-2869 CVE-2007-2871

Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain 
malformed JavaScript code. A web page containing malicious JavaScript 
code could cause Thunderbird to crash or potentially execute arbitrary 
code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2007-2867, CVE-2007-2868)

Several denial of service flaws were found in the way Thunderbird 
handled certain form and cookie data. A malicious web site that is able 
to set arbitrary form and cookie data could prevent Thunderbird from
functioning properly. (CVE-2007-1362, CVE-2007-2869)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed certain APOP
authentication requests. By sending certain responses when Thunderbird
attempted to authenticate against an APOP server, a remote attacker 
could potentially acquire certain portions of a user's authentication
credentials. (CVE-2007-1558)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird displayed certain web content. A
malicious web page could generate content which could overlay user
interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators, 
tricking users into thinking they are visiting a different site. 
(CVE-2007-2871)
