high Nessus Plugin ID 25837

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Mozilla Thunderbird allows unescaped URIs to be passed to external programs, which could lead to execution of arbitrary code, as well as privilege escalation attacks against addons that create 'about:blank' windows and populate them in certain ways.

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.13 / 2.0.0.6 or later.
