{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"USN-2189-1","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"thunderbird vulnerabilities\n\nBobby Holley, Carsten Book, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jan de Mooij,\nJesse Ruderman, Nathan Froyd and Christian Holler discovered multiple\nmemory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening\na specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker could\npotentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application\ncrash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking\nThunderbird. (CVE-2014-1518)\n\nAbhishek Arya discovered an out of bounds read when decoding JPG images.\nAn attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service\nvia application crash. (CVE-2014-1523)\n\nAbhishek Arya discovered a buffer overflow when a script uses a non-XBL\nobject as an XBL object. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker\ncould potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the\nprivileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1524)\n\nMariusz Mlynski discovered that sites with notification permissions can\nrun script in a privileged context in some circumstances. If a user had\nenabled scripting, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary\ncode with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1529)\n\nIt was discovered that browser history navigations could be used to load\na site with the addressbar displaying the wrong address. If a user had\nenabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct\ncross-site scripting or phishing attacks. (CVE-2014-1530)\n\nA use-after-free was discovered when resizing images in some\ncircumstances. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could\npotentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application\ncrash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking\nThunderbird. (CVE-2014-1531)\n\nTyson Smith and Jesse Schwartzentruber discovered a use-after-free during\nhost resolution in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially\nexploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute\narbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird.\n(CVE-2014-1532)","dates":{"published":"2014-04-30T22:18:45.000Z","modified":"2026-04-22T08:53:43.121Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":null,"severity":"unknown","version":null,"versionLabel":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"computed":false,"selection":"none"},"metrics":[]},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"severity":"unknown","asOf":null,"change":{"pp":null,"baselineDate":null,"baselineScore":null},"history":[],"last30":[]},"kev":{"state":"not-listed","entries":[],"listedCount":0,"totalCatalogs":3,"catalogs":[{"source":"cisa","label":"CISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"enisa","label":"ENISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"circl","label":"CIRCL","listed":false,"entry":null}]},"ransomware":{"state":"none-recorded","sources":[]},"exploits":[],"exploitCount":0,"weaknesses":[],"affected":[{"vendor":"ubuntu","product":"thunderbird","name":"thunderbird","label":"thunderbird","ecosystem":"Ubuntu","cpePart":null,"purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/thunderbird","purlType":"deb","versions":[{"text":"< 1:24.5.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1","noFixRecorded":false,"fixedIn":null}],"versionsText":"< 1:24.5.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1","eol":null,"hubHref":null}],"affectedCount":1,"eol":{"hasEol":false,"count":0},"references":[{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-2189-1","label":"ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-2189-1","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["Advisory"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1518","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1518","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1523","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1523","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1524","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1524","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1529","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1529","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1530","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1530","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1531","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1531","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1532","label":"ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-1532","hostname":"ubuntu.com","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"https://launchpad.net/bugs/1313886","label":"launchpad.net/bugs/1313886","hostname":"launchpad.net","tags":["REPORT"]}],"lineage":{"upstream":["CVE-2014-1518","CVE-2014-1523","CVE-2014-1524","CVE-2014-1529","CVE-2014-1530","CVE-2014-1531","CVE-2014-1532"],"downstream":[],"duplicates":[],"related":["CVE-2014-1518","CVE-2014-1523","CVE-2014-1524","CVE-2014-1529","CVE-2014-1530","CVE-2014-1531","CVE-2014-1532"]},"timeline":[{"kind":"published","date":"2014-04-30T22:18:45.000Z","label":"Published","detail":"Vulnerability first disclosed.","source":null},{"kind":"modified","date":"2026-04-22T08:53:43.121Z","label":"Last modified","detail":"Vulnerability information updated.","source":null}],"risk":{"score":0,"level":"minimal","profile":"Default","thresholds":{"critical":75,"high":50,"medium":25,"low":10}},"meta":{"dataAsOf":"2026-10-19T19:53:14.981Z","stale":false,"partial":false}}
