Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of Thunderbird is earlier than 2.0.0.21. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :- There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that could lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption. (MFSA 2009-01)
- By exploiting stability bugs in the browser engine, it might be possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote system under certain conditions. (MFSA 2009-07)
- It might be possible for a website to read arbitrary XML data from another domain by using nsIRDFService and a cross-domain redirect. (MFSA 2009-09)
- Vulnerabilities in the PNG libraries used by Mozilla could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the remote system. (MFSA 2009-10)
- A URI-spoofing vulnerability exists because the application fails to adequately handle specific characters in IDN subdomains. (MFSA 2009-15)
Solution
