Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a mail client that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 38.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A security downgrade vulnerability exists due to a flaw in Network Security Services (NSS). When a client allows for a ECDHE_ECDSA exchange, but the server does not send a ServerKeyExchange message, the NSS client will take the EC key from the ECDSA certificate. A remote attacker can exploit this to silently downgrade the exchange to a non-forward secret mixed-ECDH exchange. (CVE-2015-2721)
- Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2724, CVE-2015-2725)
- A use-after-free error exists in the CSPService::ShouldLoad() function when modifying the Document Object Model to remove a DOM object. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2731)
- An uninitialized memory use issue exists in the CairoTextureClientD3D9::BorrowDrawTarget() function, the ::d3d11::SetBufferData() function, and the YCbCrImageDataDeserializer::ToDataSourceSurface() function. The impact is unspecified. (CVE-2015-2734, CVE-2015-2737, CVE-2015-2738)
- A memory corruption issue exists in the nsZipArchive::GetDataOffset() function due to improper string length checks. An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted ZIP archive, to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2735)
- A memory corruption issue exists in the nsZipArchive::BuildFileList() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted ZIP archive, to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2736)
- An unspecified memory corruption issue exists in the ArrayBufferBuilder::append() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to potentially execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-2739)
- A buffer overflow condition exists in the nsXMLHttpRequest::AppendToResponseText() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to potentially execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-2740)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in certificate pinning checks. Key pinning is not enforced upon encountering an X.509 certificate problem that generates a user dialog. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions.
(CVE-2015-2741)
- A man-in-the-middle vulnerability, known as Logjam, exists due to a flaw in the SSL/TLS protocol. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to downgrade connections using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange to 512-bit export-grade cryptography. (CVE-2015-4000)
Solution
Upgrade to Thunderbird 38.1 or later.
