Thunderbird < 24.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 72329

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a mail client that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Thunderbird is earlier than 24.3 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1477)

- An error exists related to System Only Wrappers (SOW) and the XML Binding Language (XBL) that could allow XUL content to be disclosed. (CVE-2014-1479)

- An error exists related to the JavaScript engine and 'window' object handling that has unspecified impact.
(CVE-2014-1481)

- An error exists related to 'RasterImage' and image decoding that could allow application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1482)

- A use-after-free error exists related to image handling and 'imgRequestProxy' that could allow application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2014-1486)

- An error exists related to 'web workers' that could allow cross-origin information disclosure.
(CVE-2014-1487)

- Network Security Services (NSS) contains a race condition in libssl that occurs during session ticket processing. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-1490)

- Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly restrict public values in Diffie-Hellman key exchanges, allowing a remote attacker to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms. (CVE-2014-1491)

Solution

Upgrade to Thunderbird 24.3 or later.
