+ Mozilla Thunderbird is the next-generation mail client from the

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla
+ Thunderbird:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Mark Dowd from ISS X-Force reported an
+ exploitable heap overrun in the GIF processing of obsolete Netscape
+ extension 2 (CAN-2005-0399)</li>
+ <li>Daniel de Wildt and Gael Delalleau
+ discovered a memory overwrite in a string library (CAN-2005-0255)</li>
+ <li>Wind Li discovered a possible heap overflow in UTF8 to Unicode
+ conversion (CAN-2005-0592)</li>
+ <li>Phil Ringnalda reported a possible
+ way to spoof Install source with user:pass@host (CAN-2005-0590)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ The GIF heap overflow could be triggered by a malicious GIF image
+ that would end up executing arbitrary code with the rights of the user
+ running Thunderbird. The other overflow issues, while not thought to be
+ exploitable, would have the same impact. Furthermore, by setting up
+ malicious websites and convincing users to follow untrusted links,
+ attackers may leverage the spoofing issue to trick user into installing
+ malicious extensions.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.2"</code>
