(Red Hat Issues Fix) Mozilla Thunderbird Multiple Flaws Let Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code and Access Restricted Resources
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1025461
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1025461
CVE Reference:   CVE-2011-0073, CVE-2011-0074, CVE-2011-0075, CVE-2011-0077, CVE-2011-0078, CVE-2011-0080   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Apr 29 2011
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): prior to 3.1.10
Description:   Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Mozilla Thunderbird. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can access restricted resources.

A remote user can create specially crafted HTML-based e-mail that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory corruption error and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2011-0069, CVE-2011-0070, CVE-2011-0072, CVE-2011-0074, CVE-2011-0075, CVE-2011-0077, CVE-2011-0078, CVE-2011-0079, CVE-2011-0080, CVE-2011-0081]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

Mozilla developers Boris Zbarsky, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Michael Wu, Nils, Scoobidiver, Bob Clary, Henri Sivonen, Marco Bonardo, Mats Palmgren, and Ted Mielczarek, the web development team of Alcidion, Ian Beer, and Aki Helin reported these vulnerabilities.

A remote user can exploit the 'resource:' protocol to conduct directory traversal attacks against Windows-based systems to load resources from non-permitted locations [CVE-2011-0071].

Soroush Dalili reported this vulnerability.
Impact:   A remote user can create HTML-based e-mail that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.

A remote user can access restricted resources.

1. Summary:

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed HTML content. An
HTML mail message containing malicious content could possibly lead to
arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running
Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0080)

An arbitrary memory write flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled
out-of-memory conditions. If all memory was consumed when a user viewed a
malicious HTML mail message, it could possibly lead to arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0078)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the HTML
frameset tag. An HTML mail message with a frameset tag containing large
values for the "rows" and "cols" attributes could trigger this flaw,
possibly leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the
user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0077)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the HTML iframe tag. An
HTML mail message with an iframe tag containing a specially-crafted source
address could trigger this flaw, possibly leading to arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0075)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird displayed multiple marquee
elements. A malformed HTML mail message could cause Thunderbird to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0074)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the nsTreeSelection
element. Malformed content could cause Thunderbird to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0073)

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues. All running instances of Thunderbird must be
restarted for the update to take effect.

4. Solution:
