Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Mozilla Thunderbird, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary scripting code, cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system.
The first issue is caused by an error in the handling of "XPCNativeWrappers", which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by calling "setTimeout()".
The second vulnerability is caused by input validation errors when handling JavaScript, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary scripting code.
The third issue is caused by memory corruption errors in the layout and JavaScript engines when parsing malformed data, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or execute arbitrary code.
