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 create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory corruption error and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0463, CVE-2012-0464]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
When a parent window spawns and closes a child window that uses the file open dialog, a use-after-free error may occur in 'shlwapi.dll' on 32-bit Windows 7 systems and potentially execute arbitrary code [CVE-2012-0454].
A drag and drop of javascript: links onto a frame may allow a remote user to conduct cross-site scripting attacks [CVE-2012-0455].
A remote user can can trigger a use-after-free in SVG animation to execute arbitrary code [CVE-2012-0457].
A remote user can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read in SVGFilter to obtain potentially sensitive information [CVE-2012-0456].
A remote user can use a carriage return linefeed injection attacks to introduce new Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and conduct cross-site scripting attacks against sites that have a separate header injection vulnerability [CVE-2012-0451]. Thunderbird 3.1 is not affected by this vulnerability.
A remote user may be able to cause a target user to set their home page to a javascript: URL through a drag and drop action [CVE-2012-0458].
A remote user can access keyframe's cssText after dynamic modification to potentially execute arbitrary code [CVE-2012-0459]. Thunderbird 3.1 is not affected by this vulnerability.
A remote user can spoof UI elements via the window.fullScreen API [CVE-2012-0460]. Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this vulnerability.
Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Nils, Michael Bebenita, Dindog, David Anderson, Jeff Walden, Vincenzo Iozzo and Willem Pinckaers (via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative Pwn2Own contest), Masayuki Nakano, Matt Brubeck, Daniel Glazman of Disruptive Innovations, Mariusz Mlynski, Mike Brooks of Sitewatch, Atte Kettunen from OUSPG, Soroush Dalili, and Blair Strang and Scott Bell of Security Assessment reported these vulnerabilities.
|
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 access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the target site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

1. Summary:
An updated thunderbird package that fixes multiple security issues is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
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 Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64
3. Description:
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed content. Malicious
content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0461,
CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0464)
Two flaws were found in the way Thunderbird parsed certain Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG) image files. An HTML mail message containing a malicious SVG
image file could cause an information leak, or cause Thunderbird to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0456, CVE-2012-0457)
A flaw could allow malicious content to bypass intended restrictions,
possibly leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if a user were
tricked into dropping a "javascript:" link onto a frame. (CVE-2012-0455)
It was found that the home page could be set to a "javascript:" link. If a
user were tricked into setting such a home page by dragging a link to the
home button, it could cause Firefox to repeatedly crash, eventually leading
to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. A similar flaw was found and fixed in Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0458)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird parsed certain, remote content
containing "cssText". Malicious, remote content could cause Thunderbird to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0459)
It was found that by using the DOM fullscreen API, untrusted content could
bypass the mozRequestFullscreen security protections. Malicious content
could exploit this API flaw to cause user interface spoofing.
(CVE-2012-0460)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled content with multiple
Content Security Policy (CSP) headers. This could lead to a cross-site
scripting attack if used in conjunction with a website that has a header
injection flaw. (CVE-2012-0451)
Note: All issues except CVE-2012-0456 and CVE-2012-0457 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
contains Thunderbird version 10.0.3 ESR, which corrects these issues. After
installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes 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
