A web page containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1493, CVE-2014-1510, CVE-2014-1511, CVE-2014-1512, CVE-2014-1513, CVE-2014-1514) Several information disclosure flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed malformed web content. An attacker could use these flaws to gain access to sensitive information such as cross-domain content or protected memory addresses or, potentially, cause Thunderbird to crash. (CVE-2014-1497, CVE-2014-1508, CVE-2014-1505) A memory corruption flaw was found in the way Thunderbird rendered certain PDF files. An attacker able to trick a user into installing a malicious extension could use this flaw to crash Thunderbird or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1509) Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited by a specially-crafted HTML mail message as JavaScript is disabled by default for mail messages. They could be exploited another way in Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the full remote content of an RSS feed. After installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes to take effect. -- SL5 x86_64 thunderbird-24.4.0-1.el5_10.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-24.4.0-1.el5_10.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-24.4.0-1.el5_10.i386.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-24.4.0-1.el5_10.i386.rpm SL6 x86_64 thunderbird-24.4.0-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-24.4.0-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-24.4.0-1.el6_5.i686.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-24.4.0-1.el6_5.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .
