Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202101-17
==========================================
Severity: Critical
Date : 2021-01-12
CVE-ID : CVE-2020-16044
Package : thunderbird
Type : arbitrary code execution
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1440
Summary
=======
The package thunderbird before version 78.6.1-1 is vulnerable to
arbitrary code execution.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 78.6.1-1.
# pacman -Syu "thunderbird>=78.6.1-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 78.6.1.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
A security issue was found in Firefox before 84.0.2, Thunderbird before
78.6.1 and Chromium before 88.0.4324.96. A malicious peer could have
modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in an SCTP packet in a way that
potentially resulted in a use-after-free. Mozilla presumes that with
enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
Impact
======
A malicious remote user could forge an SCTP packet and possibly execute
arbitrary code.
