Synopsis: Critical: thunderbird security update Issue Date: 2013-01-08 CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-0769 CVE-2013-0762 CVE-2013-0766 CVE-2013-0767 CVE-2013-0759 CVE-2013-0744 CVE-2013-0746 CVE-2013-0748 CVE-2013-0750 CVE-2013-0758 CVE-2013-0753 CVE-2013-0754 -- Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed content. Malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0744, CVE-2013-0746, CVE-2013-0750, CVE-2013-0753, CVE-2013-0754, CVE-2013-0762, CVE-2013-0766, CVE-2013-0767, CVE-2013-0769) A flaw was found in the way Chrome Object Wrappers were implemented. Malicious content could be used to cause Thunderbird to execute arbitrary code via plug- ins installed in Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0758) A flaw in the way Thunderbird displayed URL values could allow malicious content or a user to perform a phishing attack. (CVE-2013-0759) An information disclosure flaw was found in the way certain JavaScript functions were implemented in Thunderbird. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and other security restrictions. (CVE-2013-0748) Note: All issues except CVE-2013-0744, CVE-2013-0753, and CVE-2013-0754 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-10.0.12-3.el5_9.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-10.0.12-3.el5_9.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-10.0.12-3.el5_9.i386.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-10.0.12-3.el5_9.i386.rpm SL6 x86_64 thunderbird-10.0.12-3.el6_3.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-10.0.12-3.el6_3.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-10.0.12-3.el6_3.i686.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-10.0.12-3.el6_3.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
