Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Mozilla Thunderbird. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can obtain potentially sensitive information.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger memory corruption errors and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2010-3174, CVE-2010-3175, CVE-2010-3176]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A specially crafted 'document.write' call can trigger a stack memory error [CVE-2010-3179].
A use-after-free error in nsBarProp can trigger code execution [CVE-2010-3180].
A dangling pointer vulnerability in LookupGetterOrSetter() can trigger code execution [CVE-2010-3183].
A page that opens a new window and uses a javascript: URL to make a modal call can access information from a different domain [CVE-2010-3178].
When an SSL certificate is created with a common name containing a wildcard followed by a partial IP address, the browser can establish a valid SSL connection with a server with an IP address that matches the wildcard range [CVE-2010-3170].
The browser may load external libraries on Windows-based systems using a relative path, allowing a user to conduct binary planting attacks [CVE-2010-3181]. A script on Linux-based systems is also affected [CVE-2010-3182].
A server can use Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral mode (DHE) with too short of a minimum key length [CVE-2010-3173].
Paul Nickerson, Jesse Ruderman, Olli Pettay, Igor Bukanov, Josh Soref, Gary Kwong, Martijn Wargers, Siddharth Agarwal, Alexander Miller, Sergey Glazunov, regenrecht (via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative), Eduardo Vela Nava, Richard Moore, Ehsan Akhgari, Dmitri Gribenko, and Nelson Bolyard reported these vulnerabilities.
