Comment 1 David Walser 2022-12-13 20:24:54 CET
Advisory will be as follows.

Advisory:
========================

Updated thunderbird packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An attacker who compromised a content process could have partially escaped the
sandbox to read arbitrary files via clipboard-related IPC messages
(CVE-2022-46872).

A drag-and-dropped file with a long filename could have had its filename
truncated to remove the valid extension, leaving a malicious extension in its
place. This could potentially led to user confusion and the execution of
malicious code (CVE-2022-46874).

Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and the Mozilla
Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.5. 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
(CVE-2022-46878).

A missing check related to tex units could have led to a use-after-free in
WebGL and potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2022-46880).

An optimization in WebGL was incorrect in some cases, and could have led to
memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2022-46881).

A use-after-free in WebGL extensions could have led to a potentially
exploitable crash (CVE-2022-46882).

RedHat has issued an advisory for this today (December 15):
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:9080
Comment 5 Thomas Andrews 2022-12-16 01:48:30 CET
MGA8-64 Plasma system, i5-2500, Intel graphics, wired Internet.

Updated the US English versions of Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time, and have been using them off and on for nearly four hours with no issues to report.

Comment 6 Morgan Leijström 2022-12-16 11:42:06 CET
mga8-64, Plasma, nvidia-current, old i7
Been using it occasionally since yesterday

- Swedish localisation OK
- settings and mails kept
- IMAP
- SMTP
Comment 7 Thomas Andrews 2022-12-16 14:45:21 CET
MGA8-64 Plasma system, HP Pavilion 15, AMD A8-4555, AMD "Aruba" graphics, rtl8818EE wifi. 

Updated Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time, checked and read pending email, checked newsgroups, sent myself a test email. 

Test mail from gmail to yahoo seemed to disappear, but a test mail from the same yahoo account to gmail showed within seconds, as did the reply from the gmail account. I suspect the disappearing email is due to a provider problem rather than something wrong with Thunderbird.
Comment 8 Thomas Andrews 2022-12-16 14:47:25 CET
The disappearing email showed up OK right after I finished the above report. I'm guessing it was just some sort of traffic delay.
Comment 9 Herman Viaene 2022-12-16 15:51:58 CET
Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

- thunderbird-102.6.0-1.mga8.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied lib64nss3[>= 2:3.86.0])
There is no update bug for lib64nss3, and te version in Core is 3.85, and ti's not listed in the rpm's above.
Note: I'm using QARepo to make sure I do not draw in unexpected updates.

Comment 10 Morgan Leijström 2022-12-16 15:54:51 CET
@Herman,
this bug state it depends on Bug 31272 - Firefox 102.6
So install that first :)
It includes nss.
Comment 11 Herman Viaene 2022-12-16 16:00:33 CET
I found that out in  the mean time, but to me that is not good enough. The thunderbird should either require firefox or nss. Depending on human fiddling is not good enough.
I'll continu testing after Firefox update.
Comment 12 David Walser 2022-12-16 17:30:47 CET
It is good enough.  The dependency is correct and the released update will never have a problem with it.
Comment 13 Herman Viaene 2022-12-16 17:37:19 CET
Suppose a new version introduces some problem. In such case no one would be able to install the new version of T-bird.
Comment 14 Herman Viaene 2022-12-16 17:38:25 CET
Tested by sending e-mails back and forth between accounts and machines, all works OK.
Comment 15 David Walser 2022-12-16 17:39:42 CET
(In reply to Herman Viaene from comment #13)

Incorrect.  There is no problem.  This update depends on the nss update, which will be pushed before or with this one.
Comment 16 Herman Viaene 2022-12-16 17:42:22 CET
Sorry, my sentence was not complete: a bad new version of Firefox would block the new version of T-bird.
Comment 17 David Walser 2022-12-16 17:43:55 CET
Nope.  The nss update could be pushed out with Thunderbird if need be.
Comment 18 Herman Viaene 2022-12-17 09:14:45 CET
That's better.
Comment 19 Dave Hodgins 2022-12-17 19:09:09 CET
Tested with Canadian English, and with French.
Validating. Advisory committed to svn.
