Mozilla Thunderbird < 115.15
critical Nessus Plugin ID 206739
Synopsis
A mail client installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 115.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-44 advisory.- A potentially exploitable type confusion could be triggered when looking up a property name on an object being used as the <code>with</code> environment. (CVE-2024-8381)
- Internal browser event interfaces were exposed to web content when privileged EventHandler listener callbacks ran for those events. Web content that tried to use those interfaces would not be able to use them with elevated privileges, but their presence would indicate certain browser features had been used, such as when a user opened the Dev Tools console. (CVE-2024-8382)
- The JavaScript garbage collector could mis-color cross-compartment objects if OOM conditions were detected at the right point between two passes. This could have led to memory corruption. (CVE-2024-8384)
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 115.15 or later.See Also
