The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3233-1 advisory.

    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 bypass same origin     restrictions, obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application crash or hang, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5398, CVE-2017-5400, CVE-2017-5401, CVE-2017-5402, CVE-2017-5404,     CVE-2017-5405, CVE-2017-5407, CVE-2017-5408, CVE-2017-5410)

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.

This update upgrades Thunderbird to version 45.8.0.

Security Fix(es) :

  - Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed     web content. A web page containing malicious content     could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially,     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user     running Thunderbird. (CVE-2017-5398, CVE-2017-5400,     CVE-2017-5401, CVE-2017-5402, CVE-2017-5404,     CVE-2017-5407, CVE-2017-5408, CVE-2017-5410,     CVE-2017-5405)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201705-07 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Thunderbird.
      Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted email       or web page, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of       the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, spoof content or obtain       sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 45.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2017-06 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and community members Boris Zbarsky, Christian Holler, Honza Bambas, Jon Coppeard,     Randell Jesup, Andr Bargull, Kan-Ru Chen, and Nathan Froyd reported memory safety bugs present in     Firefox 51 and Firefox ESR 45.7. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume     that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5398)

  - Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during garbage collection of JavaScript due     errors in how incremental sweeping is managed for memory cleanup. (CVE-2017-5410)

  - JIT-spray targeting asm.js combined with a heap spray allows for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections     leading to potential memory corruption attacks. (CVE-2017-5400)

  - A crash triggerable by web content in which an <code>ErrorResult</code> references unassigned memory due     to a logic error. The resulting crash may be exploitable. (CVE-2017-5401)

  - A use-after-free can occur when events are fired for a <code>FontFace</code> object after the object has     been already been destroyed while working with fonts. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2017-5402)

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

Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird, which may may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or information leaks.

With this update, the Icedove packages are de-branded back to the official Mozilla branding. With the removing of the Debian branding the packages are also renamed back to the official names used by Mozilla.

The Thunderbird package is using a different default profile folder, the default profile folder is now '\$(HOME)/.thunderbird'. The users profile folder, that was used in Icedove, will get migrated to the new profile folder on the first start, that can take a little bit more time.

Please read README.Debian for getting more information about the changes.
