Mozilla Thunderbird < 31.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 83463

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 31.7. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist within the browser engine. A remote attacker can exploit these to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2015-2708)

 - A buffer overflow condition exists in SVGTextFrame.cpp when rendering SVG graphics that are combined with certain CSS properties due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2710)

 - A use-after-free error exists due to improper processing of text when vertical text is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory.
 (CVE-2015-2713)

 - A buffer overflow condition exists in the XML_GetBuffer() function in xmlparse.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling compressed XML content. An attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2716)

Solution

Upgrade to Thunderbird 31.7 or later.
