Synopsis: Important: thunderbird security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:0982-1 Issue Date: 2013-06-25 CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-1682 CVE-2013-1684 CVE-2013-1685 CVE-2013-1686 CVE-2013-1687 CVE-2013-1690 CVE-2013-1692 CVE-2013-1693 CVE-2013-1694 CVE-2013-1697 -- 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-2013-1682, CVE-2013-1684, CVE-2013-1685, CVE-2013-1686, CVE-2013-1687, CVE-2013-1690) It was found that Thunderbird allowed data to be sent in the body of XMLHttpRequest (XHR) HEAD requests. In some cases this could allow attackers to conduct Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. (CVE-2013-1692) Timing differences in the way Thunderbird processed SVG image files could allow an attacker to read data across domains, potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2013-1693) Two flaws were found in the way Thunderbird implemented some of its internal structures (called wrappers). An attacker could use these flaws to bypass some restrictions placed on them. This could lead to unexpected behavior or a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2013-1694, CVE-2013-1697) 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. 0.7 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes to take effect. -- SL5 x86_64 thunderbird-17.0.7-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.7-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-17.0.7-1.el5_9.i386.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.7-1.el5_9.i386.rpm SL6 x86_64 thunderbird-17.0.7-1.el6_4.x86_64.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.7-1.el6_4.x86_64.rpm i386 thunderbird-17.0.7-1.el6_4.i686.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-17.0.7-1.el6_4.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
