Background ========== Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular open-source email client from the Mozilla project. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mozilla-thunderbird < 2.0.0.9 >= 2.0.0.9 2 mozilla-thunderbird-bin < 2.0.0.9 >= 2.0.0.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Thunderbird's HTML browser engine (CVE-2007-5339) and JavaScript engine (CVE-2007-5340) that can be exploited to cause a memory corruption. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email that could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time for all of these issues, but some of them can be avoided by disabling JavaScript. Resolution ========== All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.9" All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-2.0.0.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-5339 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5339 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-5340 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5340 [ 3 ] GLSA 200711-14 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200711-14.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200711-24.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
