OVERVIEW

        Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Mozilla Thunderbird
        prior to version 60. Six of these vulnerabilities have been 
        classified as critical. [1]


IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following details regarding the vulnerabilities:
        
        "CVE-2018-12359: Buffer overflow using computed size of canvas element
        
        Reporter
        Nils
        
        Impact
        critical
        
        Description
        
        A buffer overflow can occur when rendering canvas content while adjusting the
        height and width of the <canvas> element dynamically, causing data to be
        written outside of the currently computed boundaries. This results in a
        potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12360: Use-after-free when using focus()
        
        Reporter
        Nils
        
        Impact
        critical
        
        Description
        
        A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when deleting an input element during
        a mutation event handler triggered by focusing that element. This results in a
        potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12361: Integer overflow in SwizzleData
        
        Reporter
        R
        
        Impact
        critical
        
        Description
        
        An integer overflow can occur in the SwizzleData code while calculating buffer
        sizes. The overflowed value is used for subsequent graphics computations when
        their inputs are not sanitized which results in a potentially exploitable
        crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12362: Integer overflow in SSSE3 scaler
        
        Reporter
        F. Alonso (revskills)
        
        Impact
        high
        
        Description
        
        An integer overflow can occur during graphics operations done by the
        Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) scaler, resulting in a
        potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-5156: Media recorder segmentation fault when track type is changed
        during capture
        
        Reporter
        Nils
        
        Impact
        high
        
        Description
        
        A vulnerability can occur when capturing a media stream when the media source
        type is changed as the capture is occuring. This can result in stream data
        being cast to the wrong type causing a potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12363: Use-after-free when appending DOM nodes
        
        Reporter
        Nils
        
        Impact
        high
        
        Description
        
        A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when script uses mutation events to
        move DOM nodes between documents, resulting in the old document that held the
        node being freed but the node still having a pointer referencing it. This
        results in a potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12364: CSRF attacks through 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins
        
        Reporter
        David Black
        
        Impact
        high
        
        Description
        
        NPAPI plugins, such as Adobe Flash, can send non-simple cross-origin requests,
        bypassing CORS by making a same-origin POST that does a 307 redirect to the
        target site. This allows for a malicious site to engage in cross-site request
        forgery (CSRF) attacks." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12365: Compromised IPC child process can list local filenames
        
        Reporter
        Alex Gaynor
        
        Impact
        moderate
        
        Description
        
        A compromised IPC child process can escape the content sandbox and list the
        names of arbitrary files on the file system without user consent or
        interaction. This could result in exposure of private local files." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12371: Integer overflow in Skia library during edge builder
        allocation
        
        Reporter
        anonymous
        
        Impact
        moderate
        
        Description
        
        An integer overflow vulnerability in the Skia library when allocating memory
        for edge builders on some systems with at least 16 GB of RAM. This results in
        the use of uninitialized memory, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12366: Invalid data handling during QCMS transformations
        
        Reporter
        OSS-Fuzz
        
        Impact
        moderate
        
        Description
        
        An invalid grid size during QCMS (color profile) transformations can result in
        the out-of-bounds read interpreted as a float value. This could leak private
        data into the output." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12367: Timing attack mitigation of PerformanceNavigationTiming
        
        Reporter
        Andrea Marchesini
        
        Impact
        moderate
        
        Description
        
        In the previous mitigations for Spectre, the resolution or precision of various
        methods was reduced to counteract the ability to measure precise time
        intervals. In that work, PerformanceNavigationTiming was not adjusted but it
        was found that it could be used as a precision timer." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-12368: No warning when opening executable SettingContent-ms files
        
        Reporter
        Abdulrahman Alqabandi
        
        Impact
        moderate
        
        Description
        
        Windows 10 does not warn users before opening executable files with the
        SettingContent-ms extension even when they have been downloaded from the
        internet and have the "Mark of the Web." Without the warning, unsuspecting
        users unfamiliar with this new file type might run an unwanted executable. This
        also allows a WebExtension with the limited downloads.open permission to
        execute arbitrary code without user interaction on Windows 10 systems
        Note: this issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating
        systems are unaffected." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-5187: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 61, Firefox ESR 60.1, and
        Thunderbird 60
        
        Reporter
        Mozilla developers and community
        
        Impact
        critical
        
        Description
        
        Mozilla developers and community members Christian Holler, Sebastian Hengst,
        Nils Ohlmeier, Jon Coppeard, Randell Jesup, Ted Campbell, Gary Kwong, and
        Jean-Yves Avenard reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 60 and Firefox
        ESR 60. 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." [1]
        
        "CVE-2018-5188: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 61, Firefox ESR 60.1,
        Firefox ESR 52.9, and Thunderbird 60
        
        Reporter
        Mozilla developers and community
        
        Impact
        critical
        
        Description
        
        Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl,
        Christian Holler, Jason Kratzer, David Major, Jon Coppeard, Nicolas B. Pierron,
        Jason Kratzer, Marcia Knous, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs
        present in Firefox 60, Firefox ESR 60, and Firefox ESR 52.8. 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." [1]
