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 128.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-37 advisory.

 - Select options could obscure the fullscreen notification dialog. This could be used by a malicious site to perform a spoofing attack. (CVE-2024-7518)

 - Insufficient checks when processing graphics shared memory could have led to memory corruption. This could be leveraged by an attacker to perform a sandbox escape. (CVE-2024-7519)

 - A type confusion bug in WebAssembly could be leveraged by an attacker to potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2024-7520)

 - Incomplete WebAssembly exception handing could have led to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-7521)

 - Editor code failed to check an attribute value. This could have led to an out-of-bounds read.
 (CVE-2024-7522)

 - It was possible for a web extension with minimal permissions to create a <code>StreamFilter</code> which could be used to read and modify the response body of requests on any site. (CVE-2024-7525)

 - ANGLE failed to initialize parameters which led to reading from uninitialized memory. This could be leveraged to leak sensitive data from memory. (CVE-2024-7526)

 - Unexpected marking work at the start of sweeping could have led to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-7527)

 - Incorrect garbage collection interaction in IndexedDB could have led to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-7528)

 - The date picker could partially obscure security prompts. This could be used by a malicious site to trick a user into granting permissions. (CVE-2024-7529)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird version 128.1 or later.
