Mozilla Thunderbird < 145.0

critical Nessus Plugin ID 275463

Synopsis

A mail client installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 145.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-90 advisory.

- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 144 and Thunderbird 144. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-13027)

- Sandbox escape due to incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: WebGPU component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145. (CVE-2025-13023, CVE-2025-13026)

- Incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: WebGPU component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145.
(CVE-2025-13021, CVE-2025-13022, CVE-2025-13025)

- Race condition in the Graphics component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145, Firefox ESR < 140.5, and Firefox ESR < 115.30. (CVE-2025-13012)

- Incorrect boundary conditions in the JavaScript: WebAssembly component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145 and Firefox ESR < 140.5. (CVE-2025-13016)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird version 145.0 or later.
