Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU54829

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29969

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

The vulnerability exists in the way Thunderbird handles IMAP server responses sent prior to STARTTLS process. A remote attacker with ability to perform MitM attack can send arbitrary IMAP commands before the STARTTLS handshake and execute them after the handshake is complete.

This could have resulted in Thunderbird showing incorrect information, for example the attacker could have tricked Thunderbird to show folders that didn't exist on the IMAP server.

Mitigation

Update the affected package MozillaThunderbird to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions
