security advisoryfedoracriticalFedora 7: FEDORA-2008-2118 Critical: Thunderbird HTML Flaws
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-2118 2008-02-28 21:16:44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : thunderbird Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.0.0.12 Release : 1.fc7 URL : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Home_Page Summary : Mozilla Thunderbird mail/newsgroup client Description : Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird displayed malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious HTML mail message to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Thunderbird.
