Package : icedove
Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2009-2408 CVE-2009-2404 CVE-2009-2463
CVE-2009-3072 CVE-2009-3075 CVE-2010-0163
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Icedove
mail client, an unbranded version of the Thunderbird mail client. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2009-2408
Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike discovered that icedove does not
properly handle a ' ' character in a domain name in the subject's
Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate (MFSA 2009-42).
CVE-2009-2404
Moxie Marlinspike reported a heap overflow vulnerability in the code
that handles regular expressions in certificate names (MFSA 2009-43).
CVE-2009-2463
monarch2020 discovered an integer overflow n a base64 decoding function
(MFSA 2010-07).
CVE-2009-3072
Josh Soref discovered a crash in the BinHex decoder (MFSA 2010-07).
CVE-2009-3075
Carsten Book reported a crash in the JavaScript engine (MFSA 2010-07).
CVE-2010-0163
Ludovic Hirlimann reported a crash indexing some messages with
attachments, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code
(MFSA 2010-07).
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.0.24-0lenny1.
Due to a problem with the archive system it is not possible to release
all architectures. The missing architectures will be installed into the
archive once they become available.
For the testing distribution squeeze and the unstable distribution (sid),
these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your icedove packages.
