Several dangling pointer vulnerabilities were discovered in Thunderbird. An
attacker could exploit this to crash Thunderbird or possibly run arbitrary
code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-2760, CVE-2010-2767,
CVE-2010-3167)

It was discovered that the XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper (SJOW) security wrapper
did not always honor the same-origin policy. If JavaScript was enabled, an
attacker could exploit this to run untrusted JavaScript from other domains.
(CVE-2010-2763)

Matt Haggard discovered that Thunderbird did not honor same-origin policy
when processing the statusText property of an XMLHttpRequest object. If a
user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could
use this to gather information about servers on internal private networks.
(CVE-2010-2764)

Chris Rohlf discovered an integer overflow when Thunderbird processed the
HTML frameset element. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious
site, a remote attacker could use this to crash Thunderbird or possibly run
arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-2765)

Several issues were discovered in the browser engine. If a user were
tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could use this to
crash Thunderbird or possibly run arbitrary code as the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2010-2766, CVE-2010-3168)

David Huang and Collin Jackson discovered that the
