    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial     of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5429, CVE-2017-5430, CVE-2017-5436,     CVE-2017-5443, CVE-2017-5444, CVE-2017-5445, CVE-2017-5446, CVE-2017-5447, CVE-2017-5461, CVE-2017-5467)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to spoof the addressbar     contents, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, cause a denial of service via application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5432, CVE-2017-5433, CVE-2017-5434, CVE-2017-5435, CVE-2017-5437,     CVE-2017-5438, CVE-2017-5439, CVE-2017-5440, CVE-2017-5441, CVE-2017-5442, CVE-2017-5449, CVE-2017-5451,     CVE-2017-5454, CVE-2017-5459, CVE-2017-5460, CVE-2017-5464, CVE-2017-5465, CVE-2017-5466, CVE-2017-5469,     CVE-2016-10195, CVE-2016-10196, CVE-2016-10197)

    A flaw was discovered in the DRBG number generation in NSS. If an attacker were able to perform a machine-     in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be exploited to view sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-5462)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Mozilla Firefox was updated to Firefox 52.1.0esr.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed (bsc#1035082) :

  - CVE-2017-5443: Out-of-bounds write during BinHex     decoding

  - CVE-2017-5429: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 53,     Firefox ESR 45.9, and Firefox ESR 52.1

  - CVE-2017-5464: Memory corruption with accessibility and     DOM manipulation

  - CVE-2017-5465: Out-of-bounds read in ConvolvePixel

  - CVE-2017-5466: Origin confusion when reloading isolated     data:text/html URL

  - CVE-2017-5467: Memory corruption when drawing Skia     content

  - CVE-2017-5460: Use-after-free in frame selection

  - CVE-2017-5461: Out-of-bounds write in Base64 encoding in     NSS

  - CVE-2017-5448: Out-of-bounds write in ClearKeyDecryptor

  - CVE-2017-5449: Crash during bidirectional unicode     manipulation with animation

  - CVE-2017-5446: Out-of-bounds read when HTTP/2 DATA     frames are sent with incorrect data

  - CVE-2017-5447: Out-of-bounds read during glyph     processing

  - CVE-2017-5444: Buffer overflow while parsing     application/http-index-format content

The package is now following the ESR 52 branch :

  - Enable plugin support by default

  - service workers are disabled by default

  - push notifications are disabled by default

  - WebAssembly (wasm) is disabled

  - Less use of multiprocess architecture Electrolysis     (e10s)

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 52.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2017-13 advisory.

  - Fixed potential buffer overflows in generated Firefox code due to     [CVE-2016-6354](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-6354) issue in Flex.
    (CVE-2017-5469)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in SMIL animation functions occurs when pointers to animation elements in     an array are dropped from the animation controller while still in use. This results in a potentially     exploitable crash. (CVE-2017-5433)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability occurs during transaction processing in the editor during design mode     interactions. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2017-5435)

  - An out-of-bounds write in the Graphite 2 library triggered with a maliciously crafted Graphite font. This     results in a potentially exploitable crash. This issue was fixed in the Graphite 2 library as well as     Mozilla products. (CVE-2017-5436)

  - An out-of-bounds write during Base64 decoding operation in the Network Security Services (NSS) library due     to insufficient memory being allocated to the buffer. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. The     NSS library has been updated to fix this issue to address this issue and Firefox ESR 52.1 has been updated     with NSS version 3.28.4. (CVE-2017-5461)
