In general, these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but are potentially risks in browser or browser-like contexts.

  • CVE-2017-5470: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 54, Firefox ESR 52.2, and Thunderbird 52.2 (critical)
    Mozilla developers and community members Tyson Smith, Mats Palmgren, Philipp, Masayuki Nakano, Christian Holler, Andrew McCreight, Gary Kwong, André Bargull, Carsten Book, Jesse Schwartzentruber, Julian Hector, Marcia Knous, Ronald Crane, and Nils Ohlmeier reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 53, Firefox ESR 52.1, and Thunderbird 52.1. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2017-5472: Use-after-free using destroyed node when regenerating trees (critical)
    A use-after-free vulnerability with the frameloader during tree reconstruction while regenerating CSS layout when attempting to use a node in the tree that no longer exists. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7749: Use-after-free during docshell reloading (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability when using an incorrect URL during the reloading of a docshell. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7750: Use-after-free with track elements (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability during video control operations when a <code><track></code> element holds a reference to an older window if that window has been replaced in the DOM. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7751: Use-after-free with content viewer listeners (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability with content viewer listeners that results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7752: Use-after-free with IME input (moderate)
    A use-after-free vulnerability during specific user interactions with the input method editor (IME) in some languages due to how events are handled. This results in a potentially exploitable crash but would require specific user interaction to trigger.

  • CVE-2017-7754: Out-of-bounds read in WebGL with ImageInfo object (high)
    An out-of-bounds read in WebGL with a maliciously crafted <code>ImageInfo</code> object during WebGL operations.

  • CVE-2017-7755: Privilege escalation through Firefox Installer with same directory DLL files (high)
    The Firefox installer on Windows can be made to load malicious DLL files stored in the same directory as the installer when it is run. This allows privileged execution if the installer is run with elevated privileges.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

  • CVE-2017-7756: Use-after-free and use-after-scope logging XHR header errors (high)
    A use-after-free and use-after-scope vulnerability when logging errors from headers for XML HTTP Requests (XHR). This could result in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7757: Use-after-free in IndexedDB (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability in IndexedDB when one of its objects is destroyed in memory while a method on it is still being executed. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7758: Out-of-bounds read in Opus encoder (high)
    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability with the Opus encoder when the number of channels in an audio stream changes while the encoder is in use.

  • CVE-2017-7763: Mac fonts render some unicode characters as spaces (moderate)
    Default fonts on OS X display some Tibetan characters as whitespace. When used in the addressbar as part of an IDN this can be used for domain name spoofing attacks.
    Note: This attack only affects OS X operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

  • CVE-2017-7764: Domain spoofing with combination of Canadian Syllabics and other unicode blocks (moderate)
    Characters from the "Canadian Syllabics" unicode block can be mixed with characters from other unicode blocks in the addressbar instead of being rendered as their raw "punycode" form, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks through character confusion. The current Unicode standard allows characters from "Aspirational Use Scripts" such as Canadian Syllabics to be mixed with Latin characters in the "moderately restrictive" IDN profile. We have changed Firefox behavior to match the upcoming Unicode version 10.0 which removes this category and treats them as "Limited Use Scripts."

  • CVE-2017-7765: Mark of the Web bypass when saving executable files (moderate)
    The "Mark of the Web" was not correctly saved on Windows when files with very long names were downloaded from the Internet. Without the Mark of the Web data, the security warning that Windows displays before running executables downloaded from the Internet is not shown.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

  • CVE-2017-7778: Vulnerabilities in the Graphite 2 library (high)
    A number of security vulnerabilities in the Graphite 2 library including out-of-bounds reads, buffer overflow reads and writes, and the use of uninitialized memory. These issues were addressed in Graphite 2 version 1.3.10.
