-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-3519 2008-05-09 22:27:04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : thunderbird Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.0.0.14 Release : 1.fc7 URL : http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/ Summary : Mozilla Thunderbird mail/newsgroup client Description : Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the processing of some malformed HTML mail content. An HTML mail message containing such malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1235, CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237) Several flaws were found in the display of malformed web content. An HTML mail message containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-1234) A flaw was found in the processing of malformed JavaScript content. An HTML mail message containing such malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-1380) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; the above issue is not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled. All Thunderbird users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu May 1 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 2.0.0.14-1 - Update to 2.0.0.14 * Tue Feb 26 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 2.0.0.12-1 - Update to 2.0.0.12 * Thu Nov 15 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 2.0.0.9-1 - Update to 2.0.0.9 * Wed Jul 25 2007 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> 2.0.0.5-2 - added ligature pango fix * Fri Jul 20 2007 Kai Engert <kengert@redhat.com> - 2.0.0.5-1 - 2.0.0.5 * Fri Jun 15 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 2.0.0.4-1 - 2.0.0.4 * Fri Jun 8 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 2.0.0.4-0.rc1 - 2.0.0.4 rc1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #438721 - CVE-2008-1237 javascript crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438721 [ 2 ] Bug #438713 - CVE-2008-1233 Mozilla products XPCNativeWrapper pollution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438713 [ 3 ] Bug #438715 - CVE-2008-1234 universal XSS using event handlers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438715 [ 4 ] Bug #438717 - CVE-2008-1235 chrome privilege via wrong principal https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438717 [ 5 ] Bug #438718 - CVE-2008-1236 browser engine crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438718 [ 6 ] Bug #440518 - CVE-2008-1380 Firefox JavaScript garbage collection crash https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440518 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
