Mozilla Thunderbird < 31.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 80524

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 31.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple unspecified memory safety issues exist within the browser engine. (CVE-2014-8634, CVE-2014-8635)

- A flaw exists in 'navigator.sendBeacon()' in which it does not follow the cross-origin resource sharing specification. This results in requests from 'sendBeacon()' lacking an 'origin' header. This allows malicious sites to perform XSRF attacks. (CVE-2014-8638)

- A flaw exists when receiving 407 Proxy Authentication responses with a 'set-cookie' header. This can allow a session-fixation attack. (CVE-2014-8639)

Solution

Upgrade to Thunderbird 31.4 or later.
