USN-6995-1: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
First published: Mon Sep 09 2024(Updated: )
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7521, CVE-2024-7526, CVE-2024-7527, CVE-2024-7529, CVE-2024-8382) It was discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain memory operations when processing graphics shared memory. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2024-7519) Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check an attribute value in the editor component, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-7522) Rob Wu discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check permissions when creating a StreamFilter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to modify response body of requests on any site using a web extension. (CVE-2024-7525) Nils Bars discovered that Thunderbird contained a type confusion vulnerability when performing certain property name lookups. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8381) It was discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory during garbage collection. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8384)
