Subject: [USN-297-3] Thunderbird vulnerabilities

=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-297-3              July 26, 2006
mozilla-thunderbird vulnerabilities
CVE-2006-2775, CVE-2006-2776, CVE-2006-2778, CVE-2006-2779,
CVE-2006-2780, CVE-2006-2781, CVE-2006-2783, CVE-2006-2784,
CVE-2006-2787
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
  mozilla-thunderbird                      1.0.8-0ubuntu05.04.1

Ubuntu 5.10:
  mozilla-thunderbird                      1.0.8-0ubuntu05.10.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Thunderbird to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-297-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Thunderbird for the Ubuntu
6.06 LTS release. This update provides the corresponding fixes for
Ubuntu 5.04 and Ubuntu 5.10.

For reference, these are the details of the original USN:

  Jonas Sicking discovered that under some circumstances persisted XUL
  attributes are associated with the wrong URL. A malicious web site
  could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
  the user. (MFSA 2006-35, CVE-2006-2775)

  Paul Nickerson discovered that content-defined setters on an object
  prototype were getting called by privileged UI code. It was
  demonstrated that this could be exploited to run arbitrary web
  script with full user privileges (MFSA 2006-37, CVE-2006-2776).

  Mikolaj Habryn discovered a buffer overflow in the crypto.signText()
  function. By sending an email with malicious JavaScript to an user,
  and that user enabled JavaScript in Thunderbird (which is not the
  default and not recommended), this could potentially be exploited to
  execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (MFSA 2006-38,
  CVE-2006-2778)

  The Mozilla developer team discovered several bugs that lead to
  crashes with memory corruption. These might be exploitable by
  malicious web sites to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
  the user. (MFSA 2006-32, CVE-2006-2779, CVE-2006-2780)

  Masatoshi Kimura discovered a memory corruption (double-free) when
  processing a large VCard with invalid base64 characters in it. By
  sending a maliciously crafted set of VCards to a user, this could
  potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's
  privileges. (MFSA 2006-40, CVE-2006-2781)

  Masatoshi Kimura found a way to bypass web input sanitizers which
  filter out JavaScript. By inserting 'Unicode Byte-order-Mark (BOM)'
  characters into the HTML code (e. g. '<scr[BOM]ipt>'), these filters
  might not recognize the tags anymore; however, Thunderbird would
  still execute them since BOM markers are filtered out before
  processing a mail containing JavaScript. (MFSA 2006-42,
  CVE-2006-2783)

  Kazuho Oku discovered various ways to perform HTTP response
  smuggling when used with certain proxy servers. Due to different
  interpretation of nonstandard HTTP headers in Thunderbird and the
  proxy server, a malicious HTML email can exploit this to send back
  two responses to one request. The second response could be used to
  steal login cookies or other sensitive data from another opened web
  site. (MFSA 2006-33, CVE-2006-2786)

  It was discovered that JavaScript run via EvalInSandbox() can escape
  the sandbox. Malicious scripts received in emails containing
  JavaScript could use these privileges to execute arbitrary code with
  the user's privileges. (MFSA 2006-31, CVE-2006-2787)
