SciLinux: 2010-10-19 Moderate: Thunderbird Code Execution Risk

Moderate: thunderbird security update. Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:34:12 -0500 Reply-To: Troy Dawson Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Troy Dawson Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: thunderbird on SL4.x, SL5.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." Synopsis: Moderate: thunderbird security update Issue date: 2010-10-19 CVE Names: CVE-2010-3176 CVE-2010-3180 CVE-2010-3182 Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed HTML mail content. An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-3176, CVE-2010-3180) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird. The above issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled. A flaw was found in the script that launches Thunderbird. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was appending a "." character, which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a different user running Thunderbird, if that user ran Thunderbird from within an attacker-controlled directory. (CVE-2010-3182) All running instances of Thunderbird must be restarted for the update to take effect.

An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-0174, CVE-2010-1200, CVE-2010-1211, CVE-2010-1214, CVE-2010-2753) An integer overflow flaw was found in the processing of malformed HTML mail content. An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-1199) Several use-after-free flaws were found in Thunderbird. Viewing an HTML mail message containing malicious content could result in Thunderbird executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-0175, CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird plug-ins interact. It was possible for a plug-in to reference the freed memory from a different plug-in, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2010-1198) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header when the "Content-Type: multipart" HTTP header was also present. Loading remote HTTP content that allows arbitrary uploads and relies on the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header to prevent content from being displayed inline, could be used by an attacker toserve malicious content to users. (CVE-2010-1197) A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in Thunderbird. Remote HTML content could steal private data from different remote HTML content Thunderbird has loaded. (CVE-2010-2754) All running instances of Thunderbird must be restarted for the update to take effect.

An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-2462, CVE-2009-2463, CVE-2009-2466, CVE-2009-3072, CVE-2009-3075, CVE-2009-3380, CVE-2009-3979, CVE-2010-0159) A use-after-free flaw was found in Thunderbird. An attacker could use this flaw to crash Thunderbird or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-3077) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Thunderbird string to floating point conversion routines. An HTML mail message containing malicious JavaScript could crash Thunderbird or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-0689) A use-after-free flaw was found in Thunderbird. Under low memory conditions, viewing an HTML mail message containing malicious content could result in Thunderbird executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-1571) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird created temporary file names for downloaded files. If a local attacker knows the name of a file Thunderbird is going to download, they can replace the contents of that file with arbitrary contents. (CVE-2009-3274) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird displayed aright-to-left override character when downloading a file. In these cases, the name displayed in the title bar differed from the name displayed in the dialog body. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into downloading a file that has a file name or extension that is different from what the user expected. (CVE-2009-3376) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed SOCKS5 proxy replies. A malicious SOCKS5 server could send a specially-crafted reply that would cause Thunderbird to crash. (CVE-2009-2470) Descriptions in the dialogs when adding and removing PKCS #11 modules were not informative. An attacker able to trick a user into installing a malicious PKCS #11 module could use this flaw to install their own Certificate Authority certificates on a user's machine, making it possible to trick the user into believing they are viewing trusted content or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.

A bug was found in the way Thunderbird handled anonymous functions during regular expression string replacement. It is possible for a malicious HTML mail to capture a random block of client memory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned this bug the name CAN-2005-0989. A bug was found in the way Thunderbird validated several XPInstall related JavaScript objects. A malicious HTML mail could pass other objects to the XPInstall objects, resulting in the JavaScript interpreter jumping to arbitrary locations in memory. (CAN-2005-1159) A bug was found in the way the Thunderbird privileged UI code handled DOM nodes from the content window. An HTML message could install malicious JavaScript code or steal data when a user performs commonplace actions such as clicking a link or opening the context menu. (CAN-2005-1160) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird executed JavaScript code. JavaScript executed from HTML mail should run with a restricted access level, preventing dangerous actions. It is possible that a malicious HTML mail could execute JavaScript code with elevated privileges, allowing access to protected data and functions. (CAN-2005-1532) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird executed Javascript in XBL controls. It is possible for a malicious HTML mail to leverage this vulnerability to execute otherJavaScript based attacks even when JavaScript is disabled. (CAN-2005-2261) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird handled certain Javascript functions. It is possible for a malicious HTML mail to crash the client by executing malformed Javascript code. (CAN-2005-2265) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird handled child frames. It is possible for a malicious framed HTML mail to steal sensitive information from its parent frame. (CAN-2005-2266) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird handled DOM node names. It is possible for a malicious HTML mail to overwrite a DOM node name, allowing certain privileged chrome actions to execute the malicious JavaScript. (CAN-2005-2269) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird cloned base objects. It is possible for HTML content to navigate up the prototype chain to gain access to privileged chrome objects. (CAN-2005-2270) Users of Thunderbird are advised to upgrade to this updated package that contains Thunderbird version 1.0.6 and is not vulnerable to these issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Wed Jul 20 2005 Christopher Aillon 1.0.6-1.1.fc3 - Update to 1.0.6 * Mon Jul 18 2005 Christopher Aillon 1.0.6-0.1.fc3 - 1.0.6 Release Candidate ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: e060dd6ce427541531cc40c28a678643 SRPMS/thunderbird-1.0.6-1.1.fc3.src.rpm 617b9df6931ff067e896d29399849df0 x86_64/thunderbird-1.0.6-1.1.fc3.x86_64.rpm 8bcb33b02ad164e499e4109dc6909caa x86_64/debug/thunderbird-debuginfo-1.0.6-1.1.fc3.x86_64.rpm 2781375f4ff5c6280692d573787f5064 i386/thunderbird-1.0.6-1.1.fc3.i386.rpm 774d64ba857b9c430c3ae87471bc68f6 i386/debug/thunderbird-debuginfo-1.0.6-1.1.fc3.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailinglist This email address is being protected from spambots.
