Descriptions

When receiving an OpenPGP/MIME signed email message that contains an additional outer MIME message layer, for example a message footer added by a mailing list gateway, Thunderbird only considered the inner signed message for the signature validity. This gave the false impression that the additional contents were also covered by the digital signature. Starting with Thunderbird version 91.4.1, only the signature that belongs to the top level MIME part will be considered for the displayed status. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.1.

Al recibir un mensaje de correo electrónico firmado con OpenPGP/MIME que contiene una capa de mensaje MIME externa adicional, por ejemplo un pie de página de mensaje agregado por una puerta de enlace de lista de correo, Thunderbird solo consideró el mensaje firmado interno para la validez de la firma. Esto daba la falsa impresión de que los contenidos adicionales también estaban cubiertos por la firma digital. A partir de la versión 91.4.1 de Thunderbird, solo se considerará para el estado mostrado la firma que pertenece a la parte MIME de nivel superior. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird &lt; 91.4.1.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, trick a user into accepting unwanted permissions, conduct header splitting attacks, conduct spoofing attacks, bypass security restrictions, confuse the user, or execute arbitrary code.
