Mozilla Thunderbird 10.x < 10.0.1 Memory Corruption

high Log Correlation Engine Plugin ID 801319

Synopsis

The remote host has a mail client installed that is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability.

Description

Versions of Thunderbird 10.x earlier than 10.0.1 are potentially affected by a use-after-free error in the method 'nsXBLDocumentInfo::ReadPrototypeBindings' and XBL bindings are not properly removed from a hash table in the event of failure. Clean up processes may then attempt to use this data and cause application crashes. These application crashes are potentially exploitable.

Solution

Upgrade to Thunderbird 10.0.1 or later.
