Synopsis:	Moderate: thunderbird security update
Issue date:	2007-12-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-5947 CVE-2007-5959 CVE-2007-5960

A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the
jar: URI scheme. It may be possible for a malicious HTML mail message to
leverage this flaw, and conduct a cross-site scripting attack against a
user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2007-5947)

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-2007-5959)

A race condition existed when Thunderbird set the "window.location"
property when displaying HTML mail content. This flaw could allow a HTML
mail message to set an arbitrary Referer header, which may lead to a
Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against websites that rely only on
the Referer header for protection. (CVE-2007-5960)
