SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1026301
CVE Reference:   CVE-2011-3648   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Nov 9 2011

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 conduct cross-site scripting attacks. A remote user can obtain potentially sensitive information.

A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system [CVE-2011-3651, CVE-2011-3652, CVE-2011-3654]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. Version 7.x is affected. Jason Orendorff, Boris Zbarsky, Gregg Tavares, Mats Palmgren, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Simona Marcu, Bob Clary, William McCloskey, Rh0, and Aki Helin reported these vulnerabilities.

When using Firebug to profile a JavaScript file, a remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code [CVE-2011-3650]. Marc Schoenefeld reported this vulnerability.

A remote user can conduct cross-origin data access attacks [CVE-2011-3649]. Mozilla developer Bas Schouten reported this vulnerability. [Editor's note: This vulnerability was previously reported in MFSA 2011-29 and was reintroduced by the introduction of the "Azure" graphics back-end on Windows in Thunderbird 7.]

A remote user may be able to view random images from GPU memory in WebGL textures due to an Intel driver bug in some Mac OS X hardware [CVE-2011-3653]. Claus Wahlers reported this vulnerability.

The loadSubscript() function unwraps XPCNativeWrappers, which may allow a remote user to gain elevated privileges [CVE-2011-3647]. Only version 3.1.x is affected. moz_bug_r_a4 reported this vulnerability. [Editor's note: This vulnerability was previously reported to affect other versions of Thunderbird [in MFSA 2011-43; CVE-2011-3004; Alert ID 1026121]].

A remote user can bypass an internal NoWaiverWrappers privilege check to cause code to be executed with elevated privileges [CVE-2011-3655]. moz_bug_r_a4 reported this vulnerability.

A remote user can supply invalid sequences in the Shift-JIS encoding to conduct cross-site scripting attacks [CVE-2011-3648]. Yosuke Hasegawa reported this vulnerability.
Impact:   A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.

A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

A remote user can conduct cross-origin data access attacks.

                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Moderate: thunderbird security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2011:1438-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1438.html
Issue date:        2011-11-08
CVE Names:         CVE-2011-3648 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An updated thunderbird package that fixes one security issue is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link 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.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled
certain multibyte character sets. Malicious, remote content could cause
Thunderbird to run JavaScript code with the permissions of different remote
content. (CVE-2011-3648)

Note: This issue cannot be exploited by a specially-crafted HTML mail
message as JavaScript is disabled by default for mail messages. It could be
exploited another way in Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the full
remote content of an RSS feed.

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

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
