The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 31.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Mozilla     Network Security Services (NSS) due to a flaw in     'quickder.c' that is triggered when handling PKCS#1     signatures during the decoding of ASN.1 DER.
    (CVE-2014-1569)

  - Multiple memory safety flaws exist within the browser     engine. Exploiting these, an attacker can cause a denial     of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-1587,     CVE-2014-1588)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to     improper parsing of a JavaScript object to the     XMLHttpRequest API which can result in a crash.
    (CVE-2014-1590)

  - A use-after-free error exists due the creation of a     second XML root element when parsing HTML written to a     document created with 'document.open()' function which     can result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1592)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the     'mozilla::FileBlockCache::Read' function when parsing     media which can result in arbitrary code execution.

    (CVE-2014-1595)

Mozilla Firefox has been updated to the 31.3ESR release fixing bugs and security issues.

  - Mozilla developers and community 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 2014-83 / CVE-2014-1588 / CVE-2014-1587)

  - Security researcher Joe Vennix from Rapid7 reported that     passing a JavaScript object to XMLHttpRequest that     mimics an input stream will a crash. This crash is not     exploitable and can only be used for denial of service     attacks. (MFSA 2014-85 / CVE-2014-1590)

  - Security researcher Berend-Jan Wever reported a     use-after-free created by triggering the creation of a     second root element while parsing HTML written to a     document created with document.open(). This leads to a     potentially exploitable crash. (MFSA 2014-87 /     CVE-2014-1592)

  - Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the     Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer     tool to discover a buffer overflow during the parsing of     media content. This leads to a potentially exploitable     crash. (MFSA 2014-88 / CVE-2014-1593)

  - Security researchers Byoungyoung Lee, Chengyu Song, and     Taesoo Kim at the Georgia Tech Information Security     Center (GTISC) reported a bad casting from the     BasicThebesLayer to BasicContainerLayer, resulting in     undefined behavior. This behavior is potentially     exploitable with some compilers but no clear mechanism     to trigger it through web content was identified. (MFSA     2014-89 / CVE-2014-1594)

  - Security researcher Kent Howard reported an Apple issue     present in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) where log files are     created by the CoreGraphics framework of OS X in the     /tmp local directory. These log files contain a record     of all inputs into Mozilla programs during their     operation. In versions of OS X from versions 10.6     through 10.9, the CoreGraphics had this logging ability     but it was turned off by default. In OS X 10.10, this     logging was turned on by default for some applications     that use a custom memory allocator, such as jemalloc,     because of an initialization bug in the framework. This     issue has been addressed in Mozilla products by     explicitly turning off the framework's logging of input     events. On vulnerable systems, this issue can result in     private data such as usernames, passwords, and other     inputed data being saved to a log file on the local     system.
