Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Icedove, an unbranded version of the Thunderbird mail/news client.

  - CVE-2011-0069 CVE-2011-0070 CVE-2011-0072 CVE-2011-0074     CVE-2011-0075 CVE-2011-0077 CVE-2011-0078 CVE-2011-0080     CVE-2011-0081     'Scoobidiver', Ian Beer Bob Clary, Henri Sivonen, Marco     Bonardo, Mats Palmgren, Jesse Ruderman, Aki Kelin and     Martin Barbella discovered memory corruption bugs, which     may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2011-0065 CVE-2011-0066 CVE-2011-0073     'regenrecht' discovered several dangling pointer     vulnerabilities, which may lead to the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2011-0067     Paul Stone discovered that Java applets could steal     information from the autocompletion history.

  - CVE-2011-0071     Soroush Dalili discovered a directory traversal     vulnerability in handling resource URIs.

As indicated in the Lenny (oldstable) release notes, security support for the Icedove packages in the oldstable needed to be stopped before the end of the regular Lenny security maintenance life cycle. You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a different mail client.

USN-1122-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Thunderbird for Lucid and Maverick. This update provides the corresponding fixes for Natty.

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in the memory handling of certain types of content. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0081)

It was discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly handled certain JavaScript requests. If JavaScript were enabled, an attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0069)

Ian Beer discovered a vulnerability in the memory handling of a certain types of documents. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0070)

Bob Clary, Henri Sivonen, Marco Bonardo, Mats Palmgren and Jesse Ruderman discovered several memory vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0080)

Aki Helin discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the HTML rendering code. An attacker could exploit these to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0074, CVE-2011-0075)

Ian Beer discovered multiple overflow vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0077, CVE-2011-0078)

Martin Barbella discovered a memory vulnerability in the handling of certain DOM elements. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0072)

It was discovered that there were use-after-free vulnerabilities in Thunderbird's mChannel and mObserverList objects. An attacker could exploit these to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0065, CVE-2011-0066)

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in the handling of the nsTreeSelection element. An attacker sending a specially crafted E-Mail could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2011-0073)

Paul Stone discovered a vulnerability in the handling of Java applets. If plugins were enabled, an attacker could use this to mimic interaction with form autocomplete controls and steal entries from the form history. (CVE-2011-0067)

Soroush Dalili discovered a vulnerability in the resource:
protocol. This could potentially allow an attacker to load arbitrary files that were accessible to the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0071)

Chris Evans discovered a vulnerability in Thunderbird's XSLT generate-id() function. An attacker could possibly use this vulnerability to make other attacks more reliable.
(CVE-2011-1202).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
