{"id":"USN-2859-1","summary":"thunderbird vulnerabilities","details":"Andrei Vaida, Jesse Ruderman, Bob Clary, and Jesse Ruderman\ndiscovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were\ntricked in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could\npotentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application\ncrash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking\nThunderbird. (CVE-2015-7201)\n\nRonald Crane discovered a buffer overflow through code inspection. If a\nuser were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing\ncontext, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of\nservice via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the\nprivileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2015-7205)\n\nAbhishek Arya discovered an integer overflow when allocating large\ntextures. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted\nwebsite in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit this\nto cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary\ncode with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2015-7212)\n\nRonald Crane dicovered an integer overflow when processing MP4 format\nvideo in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a\nspecially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could\npotentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application\ncrash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking\nThunderbird. (CVE-2015-7213)\n\nTsubasa Iinuma discovered a way to bypass same-origin restrictions using\ndata: and view-source: URLs.
