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 HTML mail message 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. (CVE-2006-5463, CVE-2006-5747, CVE-2006-5748)
Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird renders HTML mail
messages. A malicious HTML mail message could cause the mail client to
crash or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running
Thunderbird. (CVE-2006-5464)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird verifies RSA signatures. For
RSA keys with exponent 3 it is possible for an attacker to forge a
signature that would be incorrectly verified by the NSS library.
Thunderbird as shipped trusts several root Certificate Authorities
that use exponent 3. An attacker could have created a carefully
crafted SSL certificate which would be incorrectly trusted when their
site was visited by a victim. This flaw was previously thought to be
fixed in Thunderbird 1.5.0.7, however Ulrich Kuehn discovered the fix
was incomplete (CVE-2006-5462)
Users of Thunderbird are advised to upgrade to this update, which
contains Thunderbird version 1.5.0.8 that corrects these issues.
