Description |

=========== |
44 |
|
45 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Thunderbird's |
46 |
HTML browser engine (CVE-2007-5339) and JavaScript engine |
47 |
(CVE-2007-5340) that can be exploited to cause a memory corruption. |

Impact |
50 |
====== |
51 |
|
52 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email |
53 |
that could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the |
54 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time for all of these issues, but |
60 |
some of them can be avoided by disabling JavaScript. |
