The installed version of Thunderbird 3.1 is earlier than 3.1.18. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists related to removed     nsDOMAttribute child nodes.(CVE-2011-3659)

  - The IPv6 literal syntax in web addresses is not being     properly enforced. (CVE-2011-3670)

  - Various memory safety issues exist. (CVE-2012-0442)

  - Memory corruption errors exist related to the     decoding of Ogg Vorbis files and processing of     malformed XSLT stylesheets. (CVE-2012-0444,     CVE-2012-0449)

It was discovered that if a user chose to export their Firefox Sync key the 'Firefox Recovery Key.html' file is saved with incorrect permissions, making the file contents potentially readable by other users. (CVE-2012-0450)

Nicolas Gregoire and Aki Helin discovered that when processing a malformed embedded XSLT stylesheet, Firefox can crash due to memory corruption. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0449)

It was discovered that memory corruption could occur during the decoding of Ogg Vorbis files. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0444)

Tim Abraldes discovered that when encoding certain images types the resulting data was always a fixed size. There is the possibility of sensitive data from uninitialized memory being appended to these images. (CVE-2012-0447)

It was discovered that Firefox did not properly perform XPConnect security checks. An attacker could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through web pages and Firefox extensions. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2012-0446)

It was discovered that Firefox did not properly handle node removal in the DOM. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2011-3659)

Alex Dvorov discovered that Firefox did not properly handle sub-frames in form submissions. An attacker could exploit this to conduct phishing attacks using HTML5 frames. (CVE-2012-0445)

Ben Hawkes, Christian Holler, Honza Bombas, Jason Orendorff, Jesse Ruderman, Jan Odvarko, Peter Van Der Beken, Bob Clary, and Bill McCloskey discovered memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0442, CVE-2012-0443).

Mozilla XULrunner was updated to 1.9.2.26 security update, fixing security issues and bugs. The following security bugs have been fixed :

  - 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. (MFSA 2012-01)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.
    References

  - Jesse Ruderman and Bob Clary reported memory safety     problems that were fixed in both Firefox 10 and Firefox     3.6.26. (CVE-2012-0442)

  - For historical reasons Firefox has been generous in its     interpretation of web addresses containing square     brackets around the host. If this host was not a valid     IPv6 literal address, Firefox attempted to interpret the     host as a regular domain name. Gregory Fleischer     reported that requests made using IPv6 syntax using     XMLHttpRequest objects through a proxy may generate     errors depending on proxy configuration for IPv6. The     resulting error messages from the proxy may disclose     sensitive data because Same-Origin Policy (SOP) will     allow the XMLHttpRequest object to read these error     messages, allowing user privacy to be eroded. Firefox     now enforces RFC 3986 IPv6 literal syntax and that may     break links written using the non-standard Firefox-only     forms that were previously accepted. (MFSA 2012-02 /     CVE-2011-3670)

    This was fixed previously for Firefox 7.0, Thunderbird     7.0, and SeaMonkey 2.4 but only fixed in Firefox 3.6.26     and Thunderbird 3.1.18 during 2012.

  - Security researcher regenrecht reported via     TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that removed child     nodes of nsDOMAttribute can be accessed under certain     circumstances because of a premature notification of     AttributeChildRemoved. This use-after-free of the child     nodes could possibly allow for for remote code     execution. (MFSA 2012-04 / CVE-2011-3659)

Jueri Aedla discovered that libpng, which is in Thunderbird, did not properly verify the size used when allocating memory during chunk decompression.
