Summary
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an
attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site
tracing, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-6600, CVE-2024-6601,
CVE-2024-6604)
Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain
memory operations in the NSS. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-6602)
Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage memory
during thread creation. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2024-6603)

Vulnerabilities 4
-
Critical 9.8
Memory corruption in NSS
A mismatch between allocator and deallocator could have led to memory corruption. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.
-
High 7.5
Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 128, Firefox ESR 115.13, Thunderbird 128, and Thunderbird 115.13
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 127, Firefox ESR 115.12, and Thunderbird 115.12. 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. This vulnerabi…
-
High 7.4
Memory corruption in thread creation
In an out-of-memory scenario an allocation could fail but free would have been called on the pointer afterwards leading to memory corruption. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.
-
Medium 4.7
