Updated thunderbird packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

[Updated 27th February 2008] The erratum text has been updated to include the details of additional issues that were fixed by these erratum packages, but which were not public at the time of release. No changes have been made to the packages.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed messages with external-body Multipurpose Internet Message Extensions (MIME) types. A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0304)

Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)

Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird displayed malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing specially crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information.
(CVE-2008-0420, CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handles certain chrome URLs.
If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious HTML mail message to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0418)

Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; the above issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird saves certain text files. If a remote site offers a file of type 'plain/text', rather than 'text/plain', Thunderbird will not show future 'text/plain' content to the user, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592)

Users of thunderbird are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a runtime environment for XUL applications. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2008-0412     Jesse Ruderman, Kai Engert, Martijn Wargers, Mats     Palmgren and Paul Nickerson discovered crashes in the     layout engine, which might allow the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0413     Carsten Book, Wesley Garland, Igor Bukanov,     'moz_bug_r_a4', 'shutdown', Philip Taylor and 'tgirmann'     discovered crashes in the JavaScript engine, which might     allow the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0414     'hong' and Gregory Fleischer discovered that file input     focus vulnerabilities in the file upload control could     allow information disclosure of local files.

  - CVE-2008-0415     'moz_bug_r_a4' and Boris Zbarsky discovered several     vulnerabilities in JavaScript handling, which could     allow privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2008-0418     Gerry Eisenhaur and 'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that a     directory traversal vulnerability in chrome: URI     handling could lead to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2008-0419     David Bloom discovered a race condition in the image     handling of designMode elements, which could lead to     information disclosure or potentially the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0591     Michal Zalewski discovered that timers protecting     security-sensitive dialogs (which disable dialog     elements until a timeout is reached) could be bypassed     by window focus changes through JavaScript.

  - CVE-2008-0592     It was discovered that malformed content declarations of     saved attachments could prevent a user from opening     local files with a '.txt' file name, resulting in minor     denial of service.

  - CVE-2008-0593     Martin Straka discovered that insecure stylesheet     handling during redirects could lead to information     disclosure.

  - CVE-2008-0594     Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that     phishing protections could be bypassed with <div>     elements.

Various flaws were discovered in the browser and JavaScript engine. By tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413)

Flaws were discovered in the file upload form control. A malicious website could force arbitrary files from the user's computer to be uploaded without consent. (CVE-2008-0414)

Flaws were discovered in the BMP decoder. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted BMP file, an attacker could obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0420)

Michal Zalewski discovered flaws with timer-enabled security dialogs.
A malicious website could force the user to confirm a security dialog without explicit consent. (CVE-2008-0591)

Martin Straka discovered flaws in stylesheet handling after a 302 redirect. By tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could obtain sensitive URL parameters. (CVE-2008-0593)

Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that a web forgery warning dialog wasn't displayed under certain circumstances. A malicious website could exploit this to conduct phishing attacks against the user. (CVE-2008-0594).

The installed version of Netscape is affected by various security issues :

  - Several stability bugs leading to crashes which, in     some cases, show traces of memory corruption.

  - Several file input focus stealing vulnerabilities     that could result in uploading of arbitrary files     provided their full path and file names are known.

  - Several issues that allow scripts from page content     to escape from their sandboxed context and/or run     with chrome privileges, resulting in privilege     escalation, XSS, and/or remote code execution.

  - An issue that could allow a malicious site to inject     newlines into the application's password store when     a user saves a password, resulting in corruption of     saved passwords for other sites.  

  - A directory traversal vulnerability via the     'chrome:' URI.

  - A vulnerability involving 'designMode' frames that     may result in web browsing history and forward     navigation stealing.

  - An information disclosure issue in the BMP     decoder.

  - A file action dialog tampering vulnerability     involving timer-enabled security dialogs.

  - Mis-handling of locally-saved plaintext files.

  - Possible disclosure of sensitive URL parameters,     such as session tokens, via the .href property of     stylesheet DOM nodes reflecting the final URI of     the stylesheet after following any 302 redirects.

  - A failure to display a web forgery warning dialog     in cases where the entire contents of a page are     enclosed in a '<div>' with absolute positioning.

It was discovered that Thunderbird did not properly set the size of a buffer when parsing an external-body MIME-type. If a user were to open a specially crafted email, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user.
