Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Mozilla Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 45.6. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- Multiple memory corruption issues exists, such as when handling document state changes or HTML5 content, or else due to dereferencing already freed memory or improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9893)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to event handlers for marquee elements being executed despite a Content Security Policy (CSP) that disallowed inline JavaScript. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-9895)
- A memory corruption issue exists in libGLES when WebGL functions use a vector constructor with a varying array within libGLES. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9897)
- A use-after-free error exists in Editor, specifically within file editor/libeditor/HTMLEditor.cpp, when handling DOM subtrees. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-9898)
- A use-after-free error exists in the nsNodeUtils::CloneAndAdopt() function within file dom/base/nsNodeUtils.cpp, while manipulating DOM events and removing audio elements, due to improper handling of failing node adoption. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-9899)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists in the nsDataDocumentContentPolicy::ShouldLoad() function within file dom/base/nsDataDocumentContentPolicy.cpp that allows external resources to be inappropriately loaded by SVG images by utilizing 'data:' URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive cross-domain information.
(CVE-2016-9900)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to determine whether an atom is used by another compartment or zone in specific contexts, by utilizing a JavaScript Map/Set timing attack. (CVE-2016-9904)
- A flaw exists in the nsDocument::EnumerateSubDocuments() function within file dom/base/nsDocument.cpp when adding and removing sub-documents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web page, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-9905)
Solution
Upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird version 45.6 or later.
