Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Exploit triggers use-after-free by appending and immediately removing an <audio> element inside a DOMSubtreeModified event handler, cycling 1024 blocks of 1024 bytes to groom the heap. ↗
- →The exploit registers a DOMSubtreeModified event listener on all elements ('*') to trigger the vulnerable code path during DOM node adoption. ↗
- →Affected versions: Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, Thunderbird < 45.6 — presence of these versions in the environment indicates exposure. ↗

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.
