CVE-2020-12419

Al procesar devoluciones de llamada que ocurrieron durante el vaciado de la ventana en el proceso principal, la ventana asociada puede terminar; causando una condición de uso de la memoria previamente liberada. Esto podría haber conllevado a una corrupción de la memoria y un bloqueo potencialmente explotable. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.10, Firefox versiones anteriores a 78 y Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.10.0

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: When processing callbacks that occurred during window flushing in the parent process, the associated window may die; causing a use-after-free condition. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

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.
