enigmail vulnerability
Releases
Details
Mikhail Markin reported that enigmail incorrectly handled memory
allocations for certain large encrypted attachments. This caused
Thunderbird to crash and thus caused the entire message to be
inaccessible.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.10
-
mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
-
2:0.94-0ubuntu5.1
Ubuntu 6.06
-
mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
-
2:0.94-0ubuntu4.3
Ubuntu 5.10
-
mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
-
2:0.94-0ubuntu0.5.10.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
