| Detailed Description |
A version of Mozilla Thunderbird which is older than 45.7 has been installed on the host. Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source based e-mail client, developed by the Mozilla project. Mozilla Thunderbird versions prior to 45.7 are multiple vulnerable to vulnerability.
- Mozilla developers and community members Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Andre Bargull, Jan de Mooij, Tom Schuster, and Oriol reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 45.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5373)
- JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. (CVE-2017-5375)
- Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents. (CVE-2017-5376)
- Hashed codes of JavaScript objects are shared between pages. This allows for pointer leaks because an object's address can be discovered through hash codes, and also allows for data leakage of an object's content using these hash codes. (CVE-2017-5378)
- A potential use-after-free found through fuzzing during DOM manipulation of SVG content. (CVE-2017-5380)
- URLs containing certain unicode glyphs for alternative hyphens and quotes do not properly trigger punycode display, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks in the location bar. (CVE-2017-5383)
- The JSON viewer in the Developer Tools uses insecure methods to create a communication channel for copying and viewing JSON or HTTP headers data, allowing for potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-5390)
- A use-after-free vulnerability in the Media Decoder when working with media files when some events are fired after the media elements are freed from memory. (CVE-2017-5396)
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
