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 local user can obtain elevated privileges on the target system. A remote user can obtain potentially sensitive information.
A remote user can create specially crafted content that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2015-0835, CVE-2015-0836].
When a local user runs the Mozilla updater (updater.exe) directly, the updater loads DLL files (bcrypt.dll and others) from the current working directory or from Windows temporary directories. A local user can create a specially crafted DLL and cause the DLL to be executed by the target user [CVE-2015-0833].
A remote user can create specially crafted content with IndexedDB that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a use-after-free memory error in mozilla::dom::IndexedDB::IDBObjectStore::CreateIndex() and crash or execute arbitrary code [CVE-2015-0831].
A remote user can create a specially crafted SVG graphic that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory error in mozilla::gfx::CopyRect() and read uninitialized memory when rendered [CVE-2015-0827].
A remote user can manipulate the form autocomplete function to cause a local file in a known location to be uploaded [CVE-2015-0822].
