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

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

The installed version of Thunderbird 3.1.x is potentially affected by the following security issues :
  - Multiple memory corruption issues. By tricking a user     into visiting a specially crafted page, these issues may     allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the     context of the affected application. (CVE-2012-0457,      CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0463,     CVE-2012-0464)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists that can be     exploited by an attacker if the victim can be tricked     into setting a new home page by dragging a specially     crafted link to the 'home' button URL, which will set     the user's home page to a 'javascript:' URL.     (CVE-2012-0458) 

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an     out-of-bounds read in SVG filters. (CVE-2012-0456)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that can be     triggered by dragging and dropping 'javascript:' links     onto a frame. (CVE-2012-0455)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:0388 advisory.

  - 'window.fullScreen' is writeable by untrusted content,     allowing attackers to perform UI spoofing attacks.     (CVE-2012-0460)

Mozilla Firefox was updated to 10.0.3 ESR to fix various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues 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 2012-19)

    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.

  - CVE-2012-0463

  - Mozilla developer Matt Brubeck reported that     window.fullScreen is writeable by untrusted content now     that the DOM fullscreen API is enabled. Because     window.fullScreen does not include     mozRequestFullscreen's security protections, it could be     used for UI spoofing. This code change makes     window.fullScreen read only by untrusted content,     forcing the use of the DOM fullscreen API in normal     usage. (MFSA 2012-18 / CVE-2012-0460)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Mozilla community member Daniel Glazman of Disruptive     Innovations reported a crash when accessing a keyframe's     cssText after dynamic modification. This crash may be     potentially exploitable. (MFSA 2012-17 / CVE-2012-0459)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that an     attacker able to convince a potential victim to set a     new home page by dragging a link to the 'home' button     can set that user's home page to a javascript: URL. Once     this is done the attacker's page can cause repeated     crashes of the browser, eventually getting the script     URL loaded in the privileged about:sessionrestore     context. (MFSA 2012-16 / CVE-2012-0458)

  - Security Researcher Mike Brooks of Sitewatch reported     that if multiple Content Security Policy (CSP) headers     are present on a page, they have an additive effect page     policy. Using carriage return line feed (CRLF)     injection, a new CSP rule can be introduced which allows     for cross-site scripting (XSS) on sites with a separate     header injection vulnerability. (MFSA 2012-15 /     CVE-2012-0451)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two     issues with Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address     Sanitizer tool. The first issue, critically rated, is a     use-after-free in SVG animation that could potentially     lead to arbitrary code execution. The second issue is     rated moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG     Filters. This could potentially incorporate data from     the user's memory, making it accessible to the page     content. (MFSA 2012-14 / CVE-2012-0457 / CVE-2012-0456)

  - Firefox prevents the dropping of javascript: links onto     a frame to prevent malicious sites from tricking users     into performing a cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on     themselves. Security researcher Soroush Dalili reported     a way to bypass this protection. (MFSA 2012-13 /     CVE-2012-0455)

  - Security researchers Blair Strang and Scott Bell of     Security Assessment found that when a parent window     spawns and closes a child window that uses the file open     dialog, a crash can be induced in shlwapi.dll on 32-bit     Windows 7 systems. This crash may be potentially     exploitable. (MFSA 2012-12 / CVE-2012-0454)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

USN-1401-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Xulrunner. This update provides the corresponding fixes for Thunderbird.

It was discovered that a flaw in the Mozilla SVG implementation could result in an out-of-bounds memory access if SVG elements were removed during a DOMAttrModified event handler. 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. (CVE-2011-3658)

Atte Kettunen discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Gecko Rendering Engine's handling of SVG animations. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the Xulrunner based application. (CVE-2012-0457)

Atte Kettunen discovered an out of bounds read vulnerability in the Gecko Rendering Engine's handling of SVG Filters. An attacker could potentially exploit this to make data from the user's memory accessible to the page content.
(CVE-2012-0456)

Soroush Dalili discovered that the Gecko Rendering Engine did not adequately protect against dropping JavaScript links onto a frame. A remote attacker could, through cross-site scripting (XSS), exploit this to modify the contents of the frame or steal confidential data. (CVE-2012-0455)

Mariusz Mlynski discovered that the Home button accepted JavaScript links to set the browser Home page. An attacker could use this vulnerability to get the script URL loaded in the privileged about:sessionrestore context. (CVE-2012-0458)

Bob Clary, Vincenzo Iozzo, and Willem Pinckaers 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-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0464).
