Descriptions
The enigmail extension before 0.94.2 does not properly handle large, encrypted file e-mail attachments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), as demonstrated with Mozilla Thunderbird.
La extensión enigmail anterior 0.94.2 no maneja adecuadamente los ficheros adjuntos encriptados al e-mail, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos provocar denegación de servicio (caida), como se demostró con Mozilla Thunderbird.
Mikhail Markin reported that enigmail incorrectly handled memory allocations for certain large encrypted attachments. This caused Thunderbird to crash and thus caused the entire message to be inaccessible.
