USN-4328-1: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
13 April 2020
thunderbird vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
o Ubuntu 19.10
o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in Thunderbird.
Software Description
o thunderbird - Mozilla Open Source mail and newsgroup client
Details
It was discovered that Message ID calculation was based on uninitialized data.
An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2020-6792)
Mutiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked
in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially
exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6793, CVE-2020-6795, CVE-2020-6822)
It was discovered that if a user saved passwords before Thunderbird 60 and then
later set a master password, an unencrypted copy of these passwords would still
be accessible. A local user could exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2020-6794)
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked
in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker
could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, conduct
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, obtain sensitive information, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-20503, CVE-2020-6798, CVE-2020-6800, CVE-2020-6805,
CVE-2020-6806, CVE-2020-6807, CVE-2020-6812, CVE-2020-6814, CVE-2020-6819,
CVE-2020-6820, CVE-2020-6821, CVE-2020-6825)
It was discovered that the Devtools Copy as cURL feature did not fully
escape website-controlled data. If a user were tricked in to using the Copy
as cURL feature to copy and paste a command with specially crafted data in to
a terminal, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary
commands via command injection. (CVE-2020-6811)
