Description:

This update for MozillaThunderbird to version 60.5.0 fixes the following
issues:

Security vulnerabilities addressed (MFSA 2019-03 boo#1122983 MFSA 2018-31):

– CVE-2018-18500: Use-after-free parsing HTML5 stream
– CVE-2018-18505: Privilege escalation through IPC channel messages
– CVE-2016-5824: DoS (use-after-free) via a crafted ics file
– CVE-2018-18501: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 65 and Firefox ESR
60.5
– CVE-2018-17466: Buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read in ANGLE library
with TextureStorage11
– CVE-2018-18492: Use-after-free with select element
– CVE-2018-18493: Buffer overflow in accelerated 2D canvas with Skia
– CVE-2018-18494: Same-origin policy violation using location attribute
and performance.getEntries to steal cross-origin URLs
– CVE-2018-18498: Integer overflow when calculating buffer sizes for images
– CVE-2018-12405: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 64, 60.4, and
Thunderbird 60.4

Other bugs fixed and changes made:

– FileLink provider WeTransfer to upload large attachments
– Thunderbird now allows the addition of OpenSearch search engines from a
local XML file using a minimal user inferface: [+] button to select a
file an add, [-] to remove.
– More search engines: Google and DuckDuckGo available by default in some
locales
– During account creation, Thunderbird will now detect servers using the
Microsoft Exchange protocol. It will offer the installation of a 3rd
party add-on (Owl) which supports that protocol.
– Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based FileLink
add-ons like the Dropbox add-on
– New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons
– Fix decoding problems for messages with less common charsets (cp932,
cp936)
– New messages in the drafts folder (and other special or virtual folders)
will no longer be included in the new messages notification
– Thunderbird 60 will migrate security databases (key3.db, cert8.db to
key4.db, cert9.db). Thunderbird 60.3.2 and earlier contained a fault
that potentially deleted saved passwords and private certificate keys
for users using a master password. Version 60.3.3 will prevent the loss
of data; affected users who have already upgraded to version 60.3.2 or
earlier can restore the deleted key3.db file from backup to complete the
migration.
– Address book search and auto-complete slowness introduced in Thunderbird
60.3.2
– Plain text markup with * for bold, / for italics, _ for underline and |
for code did not work when the enclosed text contained non-ASCII
characters
– While composing a message, a link not removed when link location was
removed in the link properties panel
– Encoding problems when exporting address books or messages using the
system charset. Messages are now always exported using the UTF-8 encoding
– If the “Date” header of a message was invalid, Jan 1970 or Dec 1969 was
displayed. Now using date from “Received” header instead.
– Body search/filtering didn’t reliably ignore content of tags
– Inappropriate warning “Thunderbird prevented the site
(addons.thunderbird.net) from asking you to install software on your
computer” when installing add-ons
– Incorrect display of correspondents column since own email address was
not always detected
– Spurious (encoded newline) inserted into drafts and sent email
– Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes launched the
Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties dialog
– Fixe Cookie removal
– “Download rest of message” was not working if global inbox was used
– Fix Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland) when a file was
sent via a folder using “Sent to > Mail recipient” due to a problem in
the Thunderbird MAPI interface
– According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII
characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with
non-compliant providers, for example
office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods
are now using a Latin-1 encoding again to work around this issue
– Fix shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP password
