Package name mozilla-thunderbird
Date January 25th, 2006
Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:021
Affected versions 2006.0

Problem Description

GUI display truncation vulnerability in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2, 1.0.6,
and 1.0.7 allows user-complicit attackers to execute arbitrary code via an
attachment with a filename containing a large number of spaces ending with
a dangerous extension that is not displayed by Thunderbird, along with an
inconsistent Content-Type header, which could be used to trick a user into
downloading dangerous content by dragging or saving the attachment.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
