Vulnerability Insight:
Bobby Holley discovered vulnerabilities in Chrome Object Wrappers (COW) and
System Only Wrappers (SOW). If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted page and had scripting enabled, a remote attacker could exploit
this to bypass security protections to obtain sensitive information or
potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking
Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0773)

Frederik Braun discovered that Thunderbird made the location of the active
browser profile available to JavaScript workers. Scripting for Thunderbird
is disabled by default in Ubuntu. (CVE-2013-0774)

A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in Thunderbird. An attacker
could potentially exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the
user invoking Thunderbird if scripting were enabled. (CVE-2013-0775)

Michal Zalewski discovered that Thunderbird would not always show the
correct address when cancelling a proxy authentication prompt. A remote
attacker could exploit this to conduct URL spoofing and phishing attacks
if scripting were enabled.
(CVE-2013-0776)

Abhishek Arya discovered several problems related to memory handling. If
the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker
could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application
crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking
Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0777, CVE-2013-0778, CVE-2013-0779, CVE-2013-0780,
CVE-2013-0781, CVE-2013-0782)

Joe Drew, Wayne Mery, Alon Zakai, Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Luke
Wagner, Terrence Cole, Timothy Nikkel, Bill McCloskey, and Nicolas Pierron
discovered multiple memory safety issues affecting Thunderbird. If a user
had scripting enabled and was tricked into opening a specially crafted
page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service
via application crash. (CVE-2013-0783, CVE-2013-0784)

Affected Software/OS:
