Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allows remote SOCKS5 proxy servers to cause a denial of service (data stream corruption) via a long domain name in a reply.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0154 :

An updated thunderbird package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed HTML mail content. An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-2462, CVE-2009-2463, CVE-2009-2466, CVE-2009-3072, CVE-2009-3075, CVE-2009-3380, CVE-2009-3979, CVE-2010-0159)

A use-after-free flaw was found in Thunderbird. An attacker could use this flaw to crash Thunderbird or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-3077)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Thunderbird string to floating point conversion routines. An HTML mail message containing malicious JavaScript could crash Thunderbird or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2009-0689)

A use-after-free flaw was found in Thunderbird. Under low memory conditions, viewing an HTML mail message containing malicious content could result in Thunderbird executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-1571)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird created temporary file names for downloaded files. If a local attacker knows the name of a file Thunderbird is going to download, they can replace the contents of that file with arbitrary contents. (CVE-2009-3274)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird displayed a right-to-left override character when downloading a file. In these cases, the name displayed in the title bar differed from the name displayed in the dialog body. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into downloading a file that has a file name or extension that is different from what the user expected. (CVE-2009-3376)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed SOCKS5 proxy replies. A malicious SOCKS5 server could send a specially crafted reply that would cause Thunderbird to crash. (CVE-2009-2470)

Descriptions in the dialogs when adding and removing PKCS #11 modules were not informative. An attacker able to trick a user into installing a malicious PKCS #11 module could use this flaw to install their own Certificate Authority certificates on a user's machine, making it possible to trick the user into believing they are viewing trusted content or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in mozilla-thunderbird :

Mozilla Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.19 process e-mail attachments with a parser that performs casts and line termination incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted message, related to message indexing (CVE-2009-0689).

Integer overflow in a base64 decoding function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors (CVE-2009-2463).

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3072).

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3075).

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, does not properly manage pointers for the columns (aka TreeColumns) of a XUL tree element, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, related to a dangling pointer vulnerability. (CVE-2009-3077)

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0, does not properly handle a right-to-left override (aka RLO or U+202E) Unicode character in a download filename, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions via a crafted filename, as demonstrated by displaying a non-executable extension for an executable file (CVE-2009-3376).

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.16 and 3.5.x before 3.5.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.1, allows remote attackers to send authenticated requests to arbitrary applications by replaying the NTLM credentials of a browser user (CVE-2009-3983).

Mozilla Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.19 process e-mail attachments with a parser that performs casts and line termination incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted message, related to message indexing (CVE-2010-0163).

The installed version of Mozilla Firefox is earlier than 3.5.2/3.0.12. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues : 

  - A denial-of-service vulnerability when Firefox receives a reply from a SOCKS5 proxy which contains a DNS name longer than 15 characters. (CVE-2009-2470)

  - Multiple flaws exist in the 'libvorbis' library could lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2009-2663)

 - Multiple flaws exist in the 'libvorbis' library could lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2009-2663)

The installed version of Firefox 3.5 is earlier than 3.5.2.  Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - A SOCKS5 proxy that replies with a hostname containing     more than 15 characters can corrupt the subsequent     data stream.  This can lead to a denial of service,     though there is reportedly no memory corruption.
    (MFSA 2009-38)

  - The location bar and SSL indicators can be spoofed     by calling window.open() on an invalid URL. A remote     attacker could use this to perform a phishing attack.
    (MFSA 2009-44)

  - Unspecified JavaScript-related vulnerabilities can lead     to memory corruption, and possibly arbitrary execution     of code. (MFSA 2009-45, MFSA 2009-47)

  - If an add-on has a 'Link:' HTTP header when it is installed,     the window's global object receives an incorrect security     wrapper, which could lead to arbitrary JavaScript being     executed with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-46)

  - It may be possible to crash the browser or potentially     execute arbitrary code by using a flash object that     presents a slow script dialog. (MFSA 2009-35) 

  - Glyph rendering libraries are affected by multiple heap/     integer overflows. (MFSA 2009-36)

  - A vulnerability involving SVG element could be exploited     to crash the browser or execute arbitrary code on the     remote system. (MFSA 2009-37)

  - A SOCKS5 proxy that replies with a hostname containing     more than 15 characters can corrupt the subsequent     data stream.  This can lead to a denial of service,     though there is reportedly no memory corruption.
    (MFSA 2009-38)

  - A vulnerability in 'setTimeout' could allow unsafe     access to the 'this' object from chrome code. An     attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary     JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-39)

  - It may be possible for JavaScript from one website     to bypass cross origin wrapper, and unsafely access     properties of an object from another website.
