Amazon Linux 2 : thunderbird (ALAS-2024-2583)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202242

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of thunderbird installed on the remote host is prior to 115.12.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2583 advisory.

 Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.
 (CVE-2024-5700)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update thunderbird' to update your system.
