FreeBSD : Thundirbird -- unprivileged JavaScript code execution (830381c7-e539-11ef-a845-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 215139

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 830381c7-e539-11ef-a845-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 The Thunderbird Address Book URI fields contained unsanitized links.
 This could be used by an attacker to create and export an address book containing a malicious payload in a field. For example, in the Other field of the Instant Messaging section. If another user imported the address book, clicking on the link could result in opening a web page inside Thunderbird, and that page could execute (unprivileged) JavaScript.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD 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

Update the affected packages.
