VERIFY ADVISORY:

om/advisories/21939/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, DoS, System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.x
http://secunia.com/p

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla
Thunderbird, 
which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct 
man-in-the-middle
attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, and
potentially
compromise a user's system.

The problem is that scripts in remote XBL files in e-mails
can 
be
executed even when JavaScript has been disabled (JavaScript
is
disabled by default). This can be exploited to cause
JavaScript 
code
to be executed whenever the HTML content of an e-mail is
being
viewed, forwarded, or replied to. This may also enable 
exploitation
of vulnerabilities requiring JavaScript.

Successful exploitation requires that the "Load
Images" setting 
is
enabled.

Some other vulnerabilities have also been reported. For more
information:
SA21903

And vulnerabilities #1, #2, #3, and #7 in:
SA21906

NOTE: Exploitation of some of the vulnerabilities requires
that
JavaScript is enabled.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.0.7.
