| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to mozilla-thunderbird
announced via advisory USN-431-1.
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
Details follow:
The SSLv2 protocol support in the NSS library did not sufficiently
check the validity of public keys presented with a SSL certificate. A
malicious SSL web site using SSLv2 could potentially exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2007-0008)
The SSLv2 protocol support in the NSS library did not sufficiently
verify the validity of client master keys presented in an SSL client
certificate. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary
code in a server application that uses the NSS library. (CVE-2007-0009)
Various flaws have been reported that could allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with user privileges by tricking the user into opening a
malicious web page. (CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0776, CVE-2007-0777)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.10:
mozilla-thunderbird 1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
mozilla-thunderbird 1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.6.06
Ubuntu 6.10:
mozilla-thunderbird 1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.6.10
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Thunderbird to
effect the necessary changes.
