| <background> |
| <p> |
| Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular open-source email client from the |
| Mozilla project. |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Thunderbird's |
| HTML browser engine (CVE-2007-5339) and JavaScript engine |
| (CVE-2007-5340) that can be exploited to cause a memory corruption. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A remote attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email |
| that could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the |
| execution of arbitrary code. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time for all of these issues, but |
| some of them can be avoided by disabling JavaScript. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.9"</code> |
| <p> |
| All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the latest |
| version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-2.0.0.9"</code> |
