Mozilla Thunderbird External-Body MIME Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Mozilla Thunderbird External-Body MIME Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Mozilla Thunderbird is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable application; failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application. This may facilitate the remote compromise of affected computers.

The issue affects versions prior to Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.12.
