Summary
=======

The package thunderbird before version 60.7.0-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, access restriction
bypass, same-origin policy bypass, information disclosure and denial of
service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 60.7.0-1.

# pacman -Syu "thunderbird>=60.7.0-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 60.7.0.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2019-5798 (information disclosure)

An out-of-bounds read has been found in the Skia component of the
chromium browser before 73.0.3683.75 and Thunderbird before 60.7.0.

- CVE-2019-7317 (denial of service)

png_image_free in png.c in libpng 1.6.36 has a use-after-free because
png_image_free_function is called under png_safe_execute.

- CVE-2019-9800 (arbitrary code execution)

Several memory safety bugs have been found in Firefox before 67.0 and
Thunderbird before 60.7.0. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory
corruption and Mozilla presumes that with enough effort some of these
could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

- CVE-2019-9816 (access restriction bypass)

A possible vulnerability exists in Firefox before 67.0 and Thunderbird
before 60.7.0, where type confusion can occur when manipulating
JavaScript objects in object groups, allowing for the bypassing of
security checks within these groups. Note that this vulnerability has
only been demonstrated with UnboxedObjects, which are disabled by
default on all supported releases.

- CVE-2019-9817 (same-origin policy bypass)

In Firefox before 67.0 and Thunderbird before 60.7.0, images from a
different domain can be read using a canvas object in some
circumstances. This could be used to steal image data from a different
site in violation of same-origin policy.

- CVE-2019-9819 (arbitrary code execution)

A vulnerability where a JavaScript compartment mismatch can occur in
Firefox before 67.0 and Thunderbird before 60.7.0, while working with
the fetch API, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.

- CVE-2019-11691 (arbitrary code execution)

A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in Firefox before 67.0 and
Thunderbird before 60.7.0, when working with XMLHttpRequest (XHR) in an
event loop, causing the XHR main thread to be called after it has been
freed. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

- CVE-2019-11692 (arbitrary code execution)

A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in Firefox before 67.0 and
Thunderbird before 60.7.0, when listeners are removed from the event
listener manager while still in use, resulting in a potentially
exploitable crash.

- CVE-2019-11693 (arbitrary code execution)

The bufferdata function in WebGL in Firefox before 67.0 and Thunderbird
before 60.7.0 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow with specific graphics
drivers on Linux. This could result in malicious content freezing a tab
or triggering a potentially exploitable crash.

- CVE-2019-11698 (information disclosure)

If a crafted hyperlink is dragged and dropped to the bookmark bar or
sidebar in Firefox before 67.0 or Thunderbird before 60.7.0, and the
resulting bookmark is subsequently dragged and dropped into the web
content area, an arbitrary query of a user's browser history can be run
and transmitted to the content page via drop event data. This allows
for the theft of browser history by a malicious site.

- CVE-2019-18511 (same-origin policy bypass)

An issue has been found in Thunderbird before 60.7.0, where cross-
origin images can be read from a canvas element in violation of the
same-origin policy using the transferFromImageBitmap method.

Impact
======

A remote attacker can crash Thunderbird, access sensitive information,
bypass security measures or execute arbitrary code on the affected
host.
