Malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0801, CVE-2013-1674, CVE-2013-1675, CVE-2013-1676, CVE-2013-1677, CVE-2013-1678, CVE-2013-1679, CVE-2013-1680, CVE-2013-1681) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled Content Level Constructors. Malicious content could use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2013-1670) Note: All of the above issues 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-17.0.6-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.6-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-17.0.6-1.el5_9.i386.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.6-1.el5_9.i386.rpm SL6 x86_64 thunderbird-17.0.6-2.el6_4.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.6-2.el6_4.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-17.0.6-2.el6_4.i686.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.6-2.el6_4.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
