Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Thunderbird. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting and HTTP response smuggling attacks.
A remote user can create HTML using Unicode Byte-order-Mark (BOM) on UTF-8 encoded pages to potentially execute arbitrary scripting code on the target user's e-mail client [MFSA 2006-42]. Masatoshi Kimura reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can create a specially crafted (and large) vCard containing invalid Base64 characters to trigger a double-free error [MFSA 2006-40]. This may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. Masatoshi Kimura reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can pass optional Certificate Authority name arguments to trigger an array index pointer overflow in crypto.signText() [MFSA 2006-38]. Mikolaj Habryn reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can invoke content-defined setters on an object prototype to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges [MFSA 2006-37]. Paul Nickerson reported this vulnerability and moz_bug_r_a4 developed a demonstration exploit proof-of-concept.
Under certain circumstances, persisted XUL attributes may be associated with the wrong URL. A remote user may be able to exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system [MFSA 2006-35]. Jonas Sicking reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can conduct HTTP response smuggling attacks against the target user when Thunderbird is used with certain proxy servers [MFSA 2006-33]. Kazuho Oku of Cybozu Labs reported this vulnerability.
A remote user may be able to cause the target user's e-mail client to crash or execute arbitrary code [MFSA 2006-32]. The vendor discovered these vulnerabilities.
A remote user can create javascript to be run via EvalInSandbox that can escape the sandbox and gain elevated privileges [MFSA 2006-31]. The javascript can call the valueOf() function on objects created outside the sandbox. moz_bug_r_a4 reported this vulnerability.
