1. Summary:
Updated thunderbird packages that fix several security bugs
are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having critical security
impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc,
s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup
client.
The Mozilla Foundation has discontinued support for the
Mozilla Thunderbird
1.0 branch. This update deprecates the Mozilla Thunderbird
1.0 branch in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 in favor of the supported Mozilla
Thunderbird
1.5 branch.
This update also resolves a number of outstanding
Thunderbird security issues:
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed
certain
javascript actions. A malicious mail message could execute
arbitrary
javascript instructions with the permissions of
"chrome", allowing the page
to steal sensitive information or install browser malware.
(CVE-2006-2776,
CVE-2006-2784, CVE-2006-2785, CVE-2006-2787, CVE-2006-3807,
CVE-2006-3809)
Several denial of service flaws were found in the way
Thunderbird processed
certain mail messages. A malicious web page could crash the
browser or
possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running
Thunderbird.
(CVE-2006-2779, CVE-2006-2780, CVE-2006-3801, CVE-2006-3677,
CVE-2006-3113, CVE-2006-3803, CVE-2006-3805, CVE-2006-3806,
CVE-2006-3811)
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed
certain
javascript actions. A malicious mail message could conduct a
cross-site
scripting attack or steal sensitive information (such as
cookies owned by
other domains). (CVE-2006-3802, CVE-2006-3810)
A form file upload flaw was found in the way Thunderbird
handled javascript
input object mutation. A malicious mail message could upload
an arbitrary
local file at form submission time without user interaction.
(CVE-2006-2782)
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Thunderbird
called the
crypto.signText() javascript function. A malicious mail
message could crash
the browser if the victim had a client certificate loaded.
(CVE-2006-2778)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed Proxy
AutoConfig scripts.
A malicious Proxy AutoConfig server could execute arbitrary
javascript
instructions with the permissions of "chrome",
allowing the page to steal
sensitive information or install client malware.
(CVE-2006-3808)
Note: Please note that JavaScript support is disabled by
default in
Thunderbird. The above issues are not exploitable with
JavaScript disabled.
Two flaws were found in the way Thunderbird displayed
malformed inline
vcard attachments. If a victim viewed an email message
containing a
carefully crafted vcard it was possible to execute arbitrary
code as the
user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2006-2781, CVE-2006-3804)
A cross site scripting flaw was found in the way Thunderbird
processed
Unicode Byte-order-Mark (BOM) markers in UTF-8 mail
messages. A malicious
web page could execute a script within the browser that a
web input
sanitizer could miss due to a malformed "script"
tag. (CVE-2006-2783)
Two HTTP response smuggling flaws were found in the way
Thunderbird
processed certain invalid HTTP response headers. A malicious
web site could
return specially crafted HTTP response headers which may
bypass HTTP proxy
restrictions. (CVE-2006-2786)
A double free flaw was found in the way the
nsIX509::getRawDER method was
called. If a victim visited a carefully crafted web page, it
was possible
to crash Thunderbird. (CVE-2006-2788)
Users of Thunderbird are advised to upgrade to this update,
which contains
Thunderbird version 1.5.0.5 that corrects these issues.
