Integer overflow in Mozilla Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10 and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code via a text/enhanced or text/richtext e-mail message with an extremely long line.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0078 :

Updated thunderbird packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

[Updated 06 March 2007] Updated text description to add CVE-2007-1282 and remove CVE-2007-0994, which was mistakenly listed as affecting Thunderbird. No changes have been made to these erratum packages.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A malicious HTML mail message could execute JavaScript code in such a way that may result in Thunderbird crashing or executing arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; these issues are not exploitable unless the user has enabled JavaScript.
(CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0777, CVE-2007-1092)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed text/enhanced and text/richtext formatted mail message. A specially crafted mail message could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2007-1282)

Several cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail messages. A malicious HTML mail message could display misleading information which may result in a user unknowingly divulging sensitive information such as a password. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0995, CVE-2007-0996)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird cached web content on the local disk. A malicious HTML mail message may be able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing session if the user reloads a targeted site. (CVE-2007-0778)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird displayed certain web content.
A malicious HTML mail message could generate content which could overlay user interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators, tricking a user into thinking they are visiting a different site. (CVE-2007-0779)

Two flaws were found in the way Thunderbird displayed blocked popup windows. If a user can be convinced to open a blocked popup, it is possible to read arbitrary local files, or conduct an XSS attack against the user. (CVE-2007-0780, CVE-2007-0800)

Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Network Security Services (NSS) code for processing the SSLv2 protocol. Connecting to a malicious secure web server could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2007-0008, CVE-2007-0009)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled the 'location.hostname' value during certain browser domain checks. This flaw could allow a malicious HTML mail message to set domain cookies for an arbitrary site, or possibly perform an XSS attack.
(CVE-2007-0981)

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox.

This will be the last security update of Mozilla-based products for the oldstable (sarge) distribution of Debian. We recommend to upgrade to stable (etch) as soon as possible.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

  - CVE-2007-1282     It was discovered that an integer overflow in     text/enhanced message parsing allows the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2007-0994     It was discovered that a regression in the JavaScript     engine allows the execution of JavaScript with elevated     privileges.

  - CVE-2007-0995     It was discovered that incorrect parsing of invalid HTML     characters allows the bypass of content filters.

  - CVE-2007-0996     It was discovered that insecure child frame handling     allows cross-site scripting.

  - CVE-2007-0981     It was discovered that Firefox handles URI with a null     byte in the hostname insecurely.

  - CVE-2007-0008     It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the NSS code     allows the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2007-0009     It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the NSS code     allows the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2007-0775     It was discovered that multiple programming errors in     the layout engine allow the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2007-0778     It was discovered that the page cache calculates hashes     in an insecure manner.

  - CVE-2006-6077     It was discovered that the password manager allows the     disclosure of passwords.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200703-18 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Georgi Guninski reported a possible integer overflow in the code     handling text/enhanced or text/richtext MIME emails. Additionally,     various researchers reported errors in the JavaScript engine     potentially leading to memory corruption. Additionally, the binary     version of Mozilla Thunderbird includes a vulnerable NSS library which     contains two possible buffer overflows involving the SSLv2 protocol.
  Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email that     could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, some of them being related to     Mozilla Thunderbird's handling of JavaScript, 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. Note that the     execution of JavaScript is disabled by default and enabling it is     strongly discouraged.

The remote host is running LedgerSMB or SQL-Ledger, a web-based double-entry accounting system.  The version of LedgerSMB or SQL-Ledger on the remote host contains a design flaw that can be leveraged by a remote attacker to bypass authentication and can gain administrative access of the application.
