Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 17 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU50030

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23961

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Firefox handles requests to internal resources. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page and combined with slipstream research techniques collect information about hosts in internal network as well as services running on the user's local machine.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
mail-client/thunderbird to version: 78.10.0
mail-client/thunderbird-bin to version: 78.10.0

2) Improperly implemented security check for standard

EUVDB-ID: #VU50881

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23968

CWE-ID: CWE-358 - Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of W3C Content Security Policy.
