CVE-2016-9893 [CRITICAL] Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Title: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Thunderbird.
Multiple memory safety 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 via application
crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9893, CVE-2017-5373)
Andrew Krasichkov discovered that event handlers on elements
were executed despite a Content Security Policy (CSP) that disallowed
inline JavaScript. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially
crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
(CVE-2016-9895)
A memory corruption issue was discovered in WebGL in some circumstances.
