#CVE-2022-31739: Attacker-influenced path traversal when saving downloaded files
ReporterChaobin ZhangImpacthigh
Description
When downloading files on Windows, the % character was not escaped, which could have lead to a download incorrectly being saved to attacker-influenced paths that used variables such as %HOMEPATH% or %APPDATA%.
This bug only affects Thunderbird for Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2022-1834: Braille space character caused incorrect sender email to be shown for a digitally signed email
ReporterJonathan von NiessenImpacthigh
Description
When displaying the sender of an email, and the sender name contained the Braille Pattern Blank space character multiple times, Thunderbird would have displayed all the spaces. This could have been used by an attacker to send an email message with the attacker’s digital signature, that was shown with an arbitrary sender email address chosen by the attacker. If the sender name started with a false email address, followed by many Braille space characters, the attacker’s email address was not visible. Because Thunderbird compared the invisible sender address with the signature’s email address, if the signing key or certificate was accepted by Thunderbird, the email was shown as having a valid digital signature.

#CVE-2022-31742: Querying a WebAuthn token with a large number of allowCredential entries may have leaked cross-origin information
ReporterMichalImpactmoderate
Description
An attacker could have exploited a timing attack by sending a large number of allowCredential entries and detecting the difference between invalid key handles and cross-origin key handles. This could have led to cross-origin account linking in violation of WebAuthn goals.

#CVE-2022-31747: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 91.10
ReporterMozilla developers and communityImpacthigh
Description
Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 91.9. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.

Interessiert in verschiedenste IT Themen, schreibe ich in diesem Blog über Software, Hardware, Smart Home, Games und vieles mehr. Ich berichte z.B. über die Installation und Konfiguration von Software als auch von Problemen mit dieser. News sind ebenso spannend, sodass ich auch über Updates, Releases und Neuigkeiten aus der IT berichte. Letztendlich nutze ich Taste-of-IT als eigene Dokumentation und Anlaufstelle bei wiederkehrenden Themen. Ich hoffe ich kann dich ebenso informieren und bei Problemen eine schnelle Lösung anbieten. Wer meinen Aufwand unterstützen möchte, kann gerne eine Tasse oder Pod Kaffe per PayPal spenden – vielen Dank.
