Description |
| 43 |
=========== |
| 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. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
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. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Resolution |
| 63 |
========== |
| 64 |

| 70 |
|
| 71 |
