[slackware-security] Thunderbird email client (SSA:2005-278-01)
New Thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to
fix a security issue:
MFSA 2005-59 Command-line handling on Linux allows shell execution
More details about this issue may be found on the Mozilla web site:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Thunderbird
Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to thunderbird-1.0.7.
This fixes a security issue where URLs passed on the command line to
the thunderbird shell script were not correctly protected against
interpretation by the shell. As a result, a malicious URL could
contain embedded shell commands which would then be executed as the
user running Thunderbird.
For more information, see:
