+ <p>
+ Mozilla Thunderbird is the next-generation mail client from the
+ Mozilla project.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla
+ Thunderbird:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" and "shutdown" discovered
+ that Thunderbird was improperly cloning base objects (MFSA
+ 2005-56).</li>
+ <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" also reported that Thunderbird was
+ overly trusting contents, allowing privilege escalation via property
+ overrides (MFSA 2005-41, 2005-44), that it failed to validate XHTML DOM
+ nodes properly (MFSA 2005-55), and that XBL scripts ran even when
+ Javascript is disabled (MFSA 2005-46).</li>
+ <li>"shutdown" discovered a
+ possibly exploitable crash in InstallVersion.compareTo (MFSA
+ 2005-50).</li>
+ <li>Andreas Sandblad from Secunia reported that a child
+ frame can call top.focus() even if the framing page comes from a
+ different origin and has overridden the focus() routine (MFSA
+ 2005-52).</li>
+ <li>Georgi Guninski reported missing Install object
+ instance checks in the native implementations of XPInstall-related
+ JavaScript objects (MFSA 2005-40).</li>
+ <li>Finally, Vladimir V.
+ Perepelitsa discovered a memory disclosure bug in JavaScript's regular
+ expression string replacement when using an anonymous function as the
+ replacement argument (CAN-2005-0989 and MFSA 2005-33).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft malicious email messages that would
+ leverage these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with
+ elevated privileges or help in stealing information.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There are no known workarounds for all the issues 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-1.0.5"</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-1.0.5"</code>
