Synopsis

A mail client installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 60.7.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-17 advisory.

 - A flaw in Thunderbird's implementation of iCal causes a heap buffer overflow in parsergetnextchar when processing certain email messages, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-11703)

 (CVE-2019-11706)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird version 60.7.1 or later.
