Summary
=======

Multiple vulnerabilities have been fixed in Thunderbird. 


Description
===========

MFSA 2009-67 Integer overflow, crash in libtheora video library: 

Security researcher Dan Kaminsky reported an integer  overflow  in  the 
Theora  video library.  A  video's  dimensions  were  being  multiplied 
together and used in particular  memory  allocations.  When  the  video 
dimensions were sufficiently large, the multiplication could overflow a 
32-bit integer resulting in too small a memory buffer  being  allocated 
for the video. An attacker could use a specially crafted video to write 
data past the bounds of this buffer, causing a  crash  and  potentially 
running arbitrary code on a victim's computer. 



MFSA 2009-66 Memory safety fixes in liboggplay media library: 

Mozilla discovered several bugs in  liboggplay  which  posed  potential 
memory safety issues. The bugs which were fixed  could  potentially  be 
used by an attacker to crash a victim's browser and  execute  arbitrary 
code on their computer. 



MFSA 2009-65 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption: 

Mozilla developers and community members identified and  fixed  several 
stability  bugs in  the  browser  engine  used  in  Firefox  and  other 
Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory 
corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with  enough 
effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. 


Affected packages:

  Pardus 2009:
    thunderbird, all before 3.0.1-51-8


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for thunderbird. You can update  them  via  Package 
Manager or with a single command from console: 

    pisi up thunderbird
