New Critical Patch Updates or Security Alerts have been issued by Oracle regarding vulnerabilities in Thunderbird.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsSVGPathSegList::ReplaceItem function in the implementation of SVG element lists in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a user-supplied callback. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0083 to this issue.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsXULCommandDispatcher function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XUL document that dequeues the current command updater. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0085 to this issue.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 do not distinguish between cookies for two domain names that differ only in a trailing dot, which allows remote web servers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via Set-Cookie headers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2362 to this issue.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsSVGPointList::AppendElement function in the implementation of SVG element lists in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a user-supplied callback. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2363 to this issue.
Unspecified vulnerability in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x before 3.6.18 and Thunderbird before 3.1.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2364. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2365 to this issue.
Integer overflow in the Array.reduceRight method in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18 and 4.x through 4.0.1, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a long JavaScript Array object. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2371 to this issue.
Use-after-free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18 and 4.x through 4.0.1, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14, when JavaScript is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XUL document. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2373 to this issue.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18 and 4.x through 4.0.1, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a multipart/x-mixed-replace image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2377 to this issue.

Some Avaya system products are delivered with a Solaris Operating System. Actions to be taken on these products are described below.
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya IR | 4.0 | Low | Firefox and Thunderbird are installed but not used by IR for any processes, therefore Avaya will not test any patches related to them. |
Recommended Actions:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place, risk to Avaya
products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided
product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period, but customers should not modify the System Product
operating system or application unless the change is approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
| CVE-2011-0083 CVE-2011-0085 CVE-2011-2362 CVE-2011-2363 CVE-2011-2365 CVE-2011-2371 CVE-2011-2373 CVE-2011-2377 |
These are a low as the package is installed but not used. |
