CVE-2008-5012 [MEDIUM] Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Title: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Summary: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Georgi Guninski, Michal Zalewsk and Chris Evans discovered that the same-origin
check in Thunderbird could be bypassed. If a user were tricked into opening a
malicious website, an attacker could obtain private information from data
stored in the images, or discover information about software on the user's
computer. (CVE-2008-5012)
Jesse Ruderman discovered that Thunderbird did not properly guard locks on
non-native objects. If a user had JavaScript enabled and were tricked into
opening malicious web content, an attacker could cause a browser crash and
possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2008-5014)
Several problems were discovered in the browser, layout and JavaScript engines.

CWE
Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
mitre_cwe
CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.
A race condition occurs within concurrent environments, and it is effectively a property of a code sequence. Depending on the context, a code sequence may be in the form of a function call, a small number of instructions, a series of program invocations, etc. A race condition violates these properties, which are closely related: Exclusivity - the code sequence is given exclusive access to the shared resource, i.e., no other code sequence can modify properties
CWE
Improper Initialization
mitre_cwe
CWE-665 Improper Initialization
CWE-665: Improper Initialization
The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used.
This can have security implications when the associated resource is expected to have certain properties or values, such as a variable that determines whether a user has been authenticated or not.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Note: This weakness can occur in code paths that are not well-tested, such as rare error conditions. This is because the use of uninitialized data would be noticed as a bug during frequently-used functionality.
Phase: Operation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality. Impact: Read Memory, Read Application Data. When reusing a resource such as memory or a program
