Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: mozilla-thunderbird
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:174
Date: October 6th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.2, 2006.0
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated Mozilla Thunderbird packages fix various vulnerabilities:
The run-mozilla.sh script, with debugging enabled, would allow local
users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
temporary files (CAN-2005-2353).
A bug in the way Thunderbird processes XBM images could be used to
execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted XBM image file
(CAN-2005-2701).
A bug in the way Thunderbird handles certain Unicode sequences could be
used to execute arbitrary code via viewing a specially crafted Unicode
sequence (CAN-2005-2702).
A bug in the way Thunderbird makes XMLHttp requests could be abused by
a malicious web page to exploit other proxy or server flaws from the
victim's machine; however, the default behaviour of the browser is to
disallow this (CAN-2005-2703).
A bug in the way Thunderbird implemented its XBL interface could be
abused by a malicious web page to create an XBL binding in such a way
as to allow arbitrary JavaScript execution with chrome permissions
(CAN-2005-2704).
An integer overflow in Thunderbird's JavaScript engine could be
manipulated in certain conditions to allow a malicious web page to
execute arbitrary code (CAN-2005-2705).
A bug in the way Thunderbird displays about: pages could be used to
execute JavaScript with chrome privileges (CAN-2005-2706).
A bug in the way Thunderbird opens new windows could be used by a
malicious web page to construct a new window without any user interface
elements (such as address bar and status bar) that could be used to
potentially mislead the user (CAN-2005-2707).
A bug in the way Thunderbird proceesed URLs on the command line could
be used to execute arbitary commands as the user running Thunderbird;
this could be abused by clicking on a supplied link, such as from an
instant messaging client (CAN-2005-2968).
Tom Ferris reported that Thunderbird would crash when processing a
domain name consisting solely of soft-hyphen characters due to a heap
overflow when IDN processing results in an empty string after removing
non-wrapping chracters, such as soft-hyphens. This could be exploited
to run or or install malware on the user's computer (CAN-2005-2871).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
