available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processes certain
malformed JavaScript code. A malicious web page could cause the
execution of JavaScript code in such a way that could cause
Thunderbird to crash or execute arbitrary code as the user running
Thunderbird. JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird;
this issue is not exploitable without enabling JavaScript.
(CVE-2006-6498, CVE-2006-6501, CVE-2006-6502, CVE-2006-6503,
CVE-2006-6504)
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird renders web pages. A
malicious web page could cause the browser to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2006-6497)
A heap based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Thunderbird
parses the Content-Type mail header. A malicious mail message could
cause the Thunderbird client to crash or possibly execute arbitrary
code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2006-6505)
Users of Thunderbird are advised to apply this update, which contains
Thunderbird version 1.5.0.9 that corrects these issues
