Originalnachricht


Hello,

It was pointed out that the last attempt to post this advisory fails a GPG
check. Pine was recently upgraded here, and it seems that the
quell-flowed-text option is needed to prevent spacing changes that break
message verification. So, here it is again -- it should verify this time.

[slackware-security] Thunderbird email client (SSA:2005-278-01)

New Thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current
to fix a security issue:

MFSA 2005-59 Command-line handling on Linux allows shell execution

More details about this issue may be found on the Mozilla web site:

known-vulnerabilities.html#Thunderbird


Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to thunderbird-1.0.7.
This fixes a security issue where URLs passed on the command line to the
thunderbird shell script were not correctly protected against
interpretation by the shell. As a result, a malicious URL could contain
embedded shell commands which would then be executed as the user running
Thunderbird.
For more information, see:
known-vulnerabilities.html#Thunderbird
(* Security fix *)
