Description
===========
- CVE-2021-43528 (arbitrary code execution)
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0 unexpectedly enabled JavaScript in
the composition area. The JavaScript execution context was limited to
this area and did not receive chrome-level privileges, but could be
used as a stepping stone to further an attack with other
vulnerabilities.
- CVE-2021-43536 (information disclosure)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. Under certain circumstances,
asynchronous functions could have caused a navigation to fail but
expose the target URL.
- CVE-2021-43537 (arbitrary code execution)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. An incorrect type conversion of
sizes from 64bit to 32bit integers allowed an attacker to corrupt
memory leading to a potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2021-43538 (content spoofing)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. By misusing a race in the
notification code, an attacker could have forcefully hidden the
notification for pages that had received full screen and pointer lock
access, which could have been used for spoofing attacks.
- CVE-2021-43539 (arbitrary code execution)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. Failure to correctly record the
location of live pointers across wasm instance calls resulted in a
garbage collection occurring within the call not tracing those live
pointers. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially
exploitable crash.
- CVE-2021-43541 (incorrect calculation)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. When invoking protocol handlers for
external protocols, a supplied parameter URL containing spaces was not
properly escaped.
- CVE-2021-43542 (information disclosure)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. Using XMLHttpRequest, an attacker
could have identified installed applications by probing error messages
for loading external protocols.
- CVE-2021-43543 (sandbox escape)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. Documents loaded with the CSP
sandbox directive could have escaped the sandbox's script restriction
by embedding additional content.
- CVE-2021-43545 (denial of service)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. Using the Location API in a loop
could have caused severe application hangs and crashes.
- CVE-2021-43546 (content spoofing)
A security issue has been found in Firefox before version 95 and
Thunderbird before version 91.4.0. It was possible to recreate previous
cursor spoofing attacks against users with a zoomed native cursor.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code, disclose sensitive
information, spoof content or crash the application through crafted web
content. In general, these flaws cannot be exploited through email
because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially
risks in browser or browser-like contexts.
