Arch Linux: 201803-22 Critical: Thunderbird Remote Code Exec Issues

The package thunderbird before version 52.7.0-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and access restriction bypass. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201803-22 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2018-03-24 CVE-ID : CVE-2018-5125 CVE-2018-5127 CVE-2018-5129 CVE-2018-5144 CVE-2018-5145 CVE-2018-5146 Package : thunderbird Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-663 Summary ====== The package thunderbird before version 52.7.0-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and access restriction bypass. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 52.7.0-1. # pacman -Syu "thunderbird> =52.7.0-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 52.7.0. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== - CVE-2018-5125 (arbitrary code execution) Various memory safety bugs have been found in Thunderbird < 52.7.0 and Firefox < 59.0, some of them presenting evidence of memory corruption. Mozilla presumes that with enough effort some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. - CVE-2018-5127 (arbitrary code execution) A buffer overflow can occur in Thunderbird < 52.7.0 when manipulating the SVG animatedPathSegList through script. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2018-5129 (access restriction bypass) A lack of parameter validation on IPC messages results in a potential out-of-bounds write in Thunderbird < 52.7.0, through malformed IPC messages. This can potentially allow for sandbox escape through memory corruption in the parent process. - CVE-2018-5144 (arbitrary code execution) An integer overflow can occur during conversion of text to some Unicode character sets in Thunderbird < 52.7.0, due to an unchecked length parameter. - CVE-2018-5145 (arbitrary code execution) Various memory safety bugs have been found in Thunderbird < 52.7.0, some of them presenting evidence of memorycorruption. Mozilla presumes that with enough effort some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. - CVE-2018-5146 (arbitrary code execution) An out of bounds memory write vulnerability has been discovered in libvorbis before 1.3.6 while processing Vorbis audio data related to codebooks that are not an exact divisor of the partition size. Impact ===== A remote attacker might be able to bypass the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the affected host via a crafted page containing an SVG object, a Vorbis audio file or some unicode characters. These issues can generally not be exploited through email because scripting is then disabled, but can be exploited in browser-like contexts.
