Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The installed version of Thunderbird is earlier than 2.0.0.24. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- The columns of a XUL tree element can be manipulated in a particular way that would leave a pointer owned by the column pointing to freed memory. (MFSA 2009-49)
- A heap-based buffer overflow exists in Mozilla's string to floating point number conversion routines. (MFSA 2009-59)
- It is possible to obfuscate the name of files to be downloaded by using a right-to-left override character (RTL). (MFSA 2009-62)
- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist that may result in the execution of arbitrary code. (MFSA 2010-07)
Solution
Upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 or later.
