Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2020-04
Security Vulnerabilities fixed in Thunderbird 68.4.1
Announced
January 10, 2020
Impact
critical
Products
Thunderbird
Fixed in
Thunderbird 68.4.1
In general, these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird
product because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially
risks in browser or browser-like contexts.
# CVE-2019-17026: IonMonkey type confusion with StoreElementHole and
FallibleStoreElement
Reporter
Qihoo 360 ATA
Impact
critical
Description
Incorrect alias information in IonMonkey JIT compiler for setting array
elements could lead to a type confusion. We are aware of targeted attacks in
the wild abusing this flaw.

o Bug 1607443
# CVE-2019-17015: Memory corruption in parent process during new content
process initialization on Windows
Reporter
Thomas Imbert
Impact
high
Description
During the initialization of a new content process, a pointer offset can be
manipulated leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash in
the parent process.
Note: this issue only occurs on Windows. Other operating systems are
unaffected.

o Bug 1599005
# CVE-2019-17016: Bypass of @namespace CSS sanitization during pasting
Reporter
Michal Bentkowski
Impact
high
Description
When pasting a <style> tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS
sanitizer incorrectly rewrites a @namespace rule. This could allow for
injection into certain types of websites resulting in data exfiltration.
References
o Bug 1599181
# CVE-2019-17017: Type Confusion in XPCVariant.cpp
Reporter
bo13oy
Impact
high
Description
Due to a missing case handling object types, a type confusion vulnerability
could occur, resulting in a crash. We presume that with enough effort that it
could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
References
o Bug 1603055
# CVE-2019-17021: Heap address disclosure in parent process during content
process initialization on Windows
Reporter
Thomas Imbert
Impact
moderate
Description
During the initialization of a new content process, a race condition occurs
that can allow a content process to disclose heap addresses from the parent
process.
Note: this issue only occurs on Windows. Other operating systems are
unaffected.
References
o Bug 1599008
# CVE-2019-17022: CSS sanitization does not escape HTML tags
Reporter
Michal Bentkowski
Impact
moderate
Description
When pasting a <style> tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS
sanitizer does not escape < and > characters. Because the resulting string is
pasted directly into the text node of the element this does not result in a
direct injection into the webpage; however, if a webpage subsequently copies
the node's innerHTML, assigning it to another innerHTML, this would result in
an XSS vulnerability. Two WYSIWYG editors were identified with this behavior,
more may exist.

o Bug 1602843
# CVE-2019-17024: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 68.4.1
Reporter
Mozilla developers
Impact
high
Description
Mozilla developers Jason Kratzer, Christian Holler, and Bob Clary reported
memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 68.3. Some of these bugs showed
evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of
these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
