Summary
=======

The package thunderbird before version 45.8.0-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, information
disclosure and content spoofing.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 45.8.0-1.

# pacman -Syu "thunderbird>=45.8.0-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 45.8.0.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2017-5398 (arbitrary code execution)

Several memory safety bugs, some of them leading to memory corruption
issues have been found in Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 45.8.

- CVE-2017-5400 (arbitrary code execution)

JIT-spray targeting asm.js combined with a heap spray allows for a
bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory
corruption attacks.

- CVE-2017-5401 (arbitrary code execution)

A crash triggerable by web content in which an ErrorResult references
unassigned memory due to a logic error.

- CVE-2017-5402 (arbitrary code execution)

A use-after-free can occur when events are fired for a FontFace object
after the object has been already been destroyed while working with
fonts.

- CVE-2017-5404 (arbitrary code execution)

A use-after-free error can occur when manipulating ranges in selections
with one node inside a native anonymous tree and one node outside of
it. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

- CVE-2017-5405 (content spoofing)

Certain response codes in FTP connections can result in the use of
uninitialized values for ports in FTP operations.

- CVE-2017-5407 (information disclosure)

Using SVG filters that don't use the fixed point math implementation on
a target iframe, a malicious page can extract pixel values from a
targeted user. This can be used to extract history information and read
text values across domains. This violates same-origin policy and leads
to information disclosure.

- CVE-2017-5408 (information disclosure)

Video files loaded video captions cross-origin without checking for the
presence of CORS headers permitting such cross-origin use, leading to
potential information disclosure for video captions.

- CVE-2017-5410 (arbitrary code execution)

Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during
garbage collection of JavaScript due errors in how incremental sweeping
is managed for memory cleanup.

Impact
======

A remote attacker can access sensitive information, force a user to
connect to a spoofed FTP port or execute arbitrary code on the affected
host.
