Various flaws were discovered in the layout and JavaScript engines. By tricking a user into opening a malicious email, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user’s privileges. Please note that JavaScript is disabled by default for emails, and it is not recommended to enable it. (CVE-2007-3734, CVE-2007-3735, CVE-2007-3844)
Jesper Johansson discovered that spaces and double-quotes were not correctly handled when launching external programs. In rare configurations, after tricking a user into opening a malicious email, an attacker could execute helpers with arbitrary arguments with the user’s privileges. (CVE-2007-3670, CVE-2007-3845).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
