If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. This could be used to leak sensitive information contained in such URIs (CVE-2021-23968). . MGASA-2021-0096 - Updated thunderbird packages fix security vulnerabilities Publication date: 04 Mar 2021 URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0096.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 7, 8 CVE: CVE-2021-23968, CVE-2021-23969, CVE-2021-23973, CVE-2021-23978 If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. This could be used to leak sensitive information contained in such URIs (CVE-2021-23968). As specified in the W3C Content Security Policy draft, when creating a violation report, "User agents need to ensure that the source file is the URL requested by the page, pre-redirects. If that’s not possible, user agents need to strip the URL down to an origin to avoid unintentional leakage." Under certain types of redirects, Firefox incorrectly set the source file to be the destination of the redirects. This was fixed to be the redirect destination's origin (CVE-2021-23969). When trying to load a cross-origin resource in an audio/video context a decoding error may have resulted, and the content of that MediaError message may have revealed information about the resource (CVE-2021-23973). Mozilla developers Alexis Beingessner, Tyson Smith, Nika Layzell, and Mats Palmgren reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 78.7. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2021-23978).
