Mozilla Thunderbird was updated to the 3.1.10 security release.

MFSA 2011-12: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. Credits

MFSA 2011-18 / CVE-2011-1202: Chris Evans of the Chrome Security Team reported that the XSLT generate-id() function returned a string that revealed a specific valid address of an object on the memory heap. It is possible that in some cases this address would be valuable information that could be used by an attacker while exploiting a different memory corruption but, in order to make an exploit more reliable or work around mitigation features in the browser or operating system.

USN-1122-2 fixed vulnerabilities in Thunderbird on Ubuntu 11.04. A regression was introduced which caused Thunderbird to display an empty menu bar. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could possibly lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0080, CVE-2011-0081)

An arbitrary memory write flaw was found in the way Firefox handled out-of-memory conditions. If all memory was consumed when a user visited a malicious web page, it could possibly lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0078)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the HTML frameset tag. A web page with a frameset tag containing large values for the 'rows' and 'cols' attributes could trigger this flaw, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0077)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the HTML iframe tag. A web page with an iframe tag containing a specially crafted source address could trigger this flaw, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0075)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed multiple marquee elements. A malformed HTML document could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0074)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the nsTreeSelection element. Malformed content could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0073)

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way Firefox appended frame and iframe elements to a DOM tree when the NoScript add-on was enabled.
Malicious HTML content could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0072)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the Firefox resource:// protocol handler. Malicious content could cause Firefox to access arbitrary files accessible to the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0071)

A double free flaw was found in the way Firefox handled 'application/http-index-format' documents. A malformed HTTP response could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0070)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain JavaScript cross-domain requests. If malicious content generated a large number of cross-domain JavaScript requests, it could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0069)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed the autocomplete pop-up.
Malicious content could use this flaw to steal form history information. (CVE-2011-0067)

Two use-after-free flaws were found in the Firefox mObserverList and mChannel objects. Malicious content could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0066, CVE-2011-0065)

A flaw was found in the Firefox XSLT generate-id() function. This function returned the memory address of an object in memory, which could possibly be used by attackers to bypass address randomization protections. (CVE-2011-1202)

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security advisories for Firefox 3.6.17. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories in the References section of this erratum.

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 3.6.17, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
