Title
=====

Two AUSCERT Advisories:

1. AA-2006.0003 - Thunderbird 1.5 release fixes email attachment
type spoofing vulnerability

2. AL-2006.0008 - HP-UX CIFS Server (Samba) Remote Execution of Arbitrary
Code, Denial of Service (DoS)

Detail
======

1. The Thunderbird email client versions 1.0.7 and prior allows an
attacker to spoof the file extension and associated file type icon for
email attachments.

2. A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX
running CIFS Server (Samba). This vulnerability could potentially
allow a remote unauthenticated user to cause controllable heap
corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root
privileges, or a Denial of Service (DoS).

OVERVIEW:

The Thunderbird email client versions 1.0.7 and prior allows an
attacker to spoof the file extension and associated file type icon for
email attachments. [1]

This can be exploited by using long attachment filenames containing
whitespace, in conjunction with false Content-Type headers.

malicious executable attachment, by making it appear to be a harmless
text or image file.


MITIGATION:

Thunderbird 1.5 has been released fixing this vulnerability. [2]
