Some of these crashes\nshowed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume\nthat with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run\narbitrary code.Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and could be\nvulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default\nsetting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in\nmail. Without further investigation we cannot rule out the possibility that for\nsome of these an attacker might be able to prepare memory for exploitation\nthrough some means other than JavaScript such as large images.", "aliases": [ { "alias": "CVE-2008-5500" } ], "fixed_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/1091?format=api", "purl": "pkg:mozilla/Firefox@3.0.5", "is_vulnerable": false, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:mozilla/Firefox@3.0.5" }, { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/1090?format=api", "purl": "pkg:mozilla/SeaMonkey@1.1.14", "is_vulnerable": false, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:mozilla/SeaMonkey@1.1.14" } ], "affected_packages": [], "references": [ { "reference_url": "https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5500", "reference_id": "CVE-2008-5500", "reference_type": "", "scores": [], "url": "https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5500" }, { "reference_url": "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2008-60", "reference_id": "mfsa2008-60", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "critical", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2008-60" } ], "weaknesses": [], "exploits": [], "severity_range_score": "9.0 - 10.0", "exploitability": null, "weighted_severity": null, "risk_score": null, "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-2px9-hc1z-3qca" }
