Benoit Jacob, Olli Pettay, Jan Varga, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Dan Gohman and Christoph Diehl discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1493) Atte Kettunen discovered an out-of-bounds read during WAV file decoding. If a user had enabled audio, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash. (CVE-2014-1497) Robert O'Callahan discovered a mechanism for timing attacks involving SVG filters and displacements input to feDisplacementMap. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to steal confidential information across domains. (CVE-2014-1505) Tyson Smith and Jesse Schwartzentruber discovered an out-of-bounds read during polygon rendering in MathML. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to steal confidential information across domains. (CVE-2014-1508) John Thomson discovered a memory corruption bug in the Cairo graphics library. If a user had a malicious extension installed, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1509) Mariusz Mlynski discovered that web content could open a chrome privileged page and bypass the popup blocker in some circumstances. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1510, CVE-2014-1511) It was discovered that memory pressure during garbage collection resulted in memory corruption in some circumstances. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1512) J&#252 ri Aedla discovered out-of-bounds reads and writes with TypedArrayObject in some circumstances. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1513) George Hotz discovered an out-of-bounds write with TypedArrayObject. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1514)
