Synopsis: Moderate: thunderbird security update
Issue date: 2009-06-25
CVE Names: CVE-2009-1303 CVE-2009-1305 CVE-2009-1306
CVE-2009-1307 CVE-2009-1308 CVE-2009-1309
CVE-2009-1392 CVE-2009-1833 CVE-2009-1836
CVE-2009-1838
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 as the user
running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-1392, CVE-2009-1303, CVE-2009-1305,
CVE-2009-1833, CVE-2009-1838)
Several flaws were found in the way malformed HTML mail content was
processed. An HTML mail message containing malicious content could
execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the mail message,
possibly presenting misleading data to the user, or stealing sensitive
information such as login credentials. (CVE-2009-1306, CVE-2009-1307,
CVE-2009-1308, CVE-2009-1309)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled error responses returned
from proxy servers. If an attacker is able to conduct a
man-in-the-middle attack against a Thunderbird instance that is using a
proxy server, they may be able to steal sensitive information from the
site Thunderbird is displaying. (CVE-2009-1836)
Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird. None of
the above issues are exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.
All running instances of Thunderbird must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
