  • Thunderbird 102.8

Except for CVE-2023--0616, these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially risks in browser or browser-like contexts.

#CVE-2023-0616: User Interface lockup with messages combining S/MIME and OpenPGP

Reporter
Kai Engert
Impact
low
Description

If a MIME email combines OpenPGP and OpenPGP MIME data in a certain way Thunderbird repeatedly attempts to process and display the message, which could cause Thunderbird's user interface to lock up and no longer respond to the user's actions. An attacker could send a crafted message with this structure to attempt a DoS attack.

Reporter
Mark
Impact
high
Description

Members of the DEVMODEW struct set by the printer device driver weren't being validated and could have resulted in invalid values which in turn would cause the browser to attempt out of bounds access to related variables.
This bug only affects Thunderbird on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.

Reporter
Mozilla developers and community

Mozilla developers Philipp and Gabriele Svelto reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.7. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
