high Log Correlation Engine Plugin ID 801381
New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote host has a mail client installed that is potentially affected by an integer overflow vulnerability.

Description

Versions of Thunderbird 10.x earlier than 10.0.2 are potentially affected by an integer overflow error in 'libpng', a library used by this application. When decompressing certain PNG image files, this error can allow a heap-based buffer overflow which can crash the application or potentially allow code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Thunderbird 10.0.2 or later.
