Slackware alert SSA:2005-278-01 (mozilla)
Hello, It was pointed out that the last attempt to post this advisory fails a GPG check. Pine was recently upgraded here, and it seems that the quell-flowed-text option is needed to prevent spacing changes that break message verification. So, here it is again -- it should verify this time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] Thunderbird email client (SSA:2005-278-01) New Thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to fix a security issue: MFSA 2005-59 Command-line handling on Linux allows shell execution More details about this issue may be found on the Mozilla web site: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabil... Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-1.0.7. This fixes a security issue where URLs passed on the command line to the thunderbird shell script were not correctly protected against interpretation by the shell. As a result, a malicious URL could contain embedded shell commands which would then be executed as the user running Thunderbird.
