CVE-2020-12410

Los desarrolladores de Mozilla reportaron bugs de seguridad de la memoria presentes en Firefox versión 76 y Firefox ESR versión 68.8. Algunos de estos bugs mostraron evidencia de corrupción de la memoria y presumimos que con suficiente esfuerzo algunos de estos podrían haber sido explotados para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.9.0, Firefox versiones anteriores a 77 y Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.9

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 76 and Firefox ESR 68.8. 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.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Thunderbird would continue an unencrypted connection when configured to use STARTTLS for IMAP if the server responded with PREAUTH. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to perform a person-in-the-middle attack in order to obtain sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
