The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200507-17 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla Thunderbird:
'moz_bug_r_a4' and 'shutdown' discovered that Thunderbird was improperly cloning base objects (MFSA 2005-56).
'moz_bug_r_a4' also reported that Thunderbird was overly trusting contents, allowing privilege escalation via property overrides (MFSA 2005-41, 2005-44), that it failed to validate XHTML DOM nodes properly (MFSA 2005-55), and that XBL scripts ran even when JavaScript is disabled (MFSA 2005-46).
'shutdown' discovered a possibly exploitable crash in InstallVersion.compareTo (MFSA 2005-50).
Andreas Sandblad from Secunia reported that a child frame can call top.focus() even if the framing page comes from a different origin and has overridden the focus() routine (MFSA 2005-52).
Georgi Guninski reported missing Install object instance checks in the native implementations of XPInstall-related JavaScript objects (MFSA 2005-40).
Finally, Vladimir V.
Perepelitsa discovered a memory disclosure bug in JavaScript's regular expression string replacement when using an anonymous function as the replacement argument (CAN-2005-0989 and MFSA 2005-33).
Impact :
A remote attacker could craft malicious email messages that would leverage these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with elevated privileges or help in stealing information.
Workaround :
There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
