Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : mozilla-thunderbird (MDKSA-2006:021)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20810

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

GUI display truncation vulnerability in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2, 1.0.6, and 1.0.7 allows user-complicit attackers to execute arbitrary code via an attachment with a filename containing a large number of spaces ending with a dangerous extension that is not displayed by Thunderbird, along with an inconsistent Content-Type header, which could be used to trick a user into downloading dangerous content by dragging or saving the attachment.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.

Solution

Update the affected mozilla-thunderbird, mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail and / or mozilla-thunderbird-enigmime packages.
