What's New in SeaMonkey 2.49.5

SeaMonkey 2.49.5 contains (among other changes) the following major changes relative to SeaMonkey 2.49.4:

SeaMonkey 2.49.5 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the relevant Firefox 52.9.0 ESR security fixes.

SeaMonkey 2.49.5 shares most parts of the mail and news code with Thunderbird. Please read the Thunderbird 52.9.1 release notes for specific changes and security fixes in this release.

Additional security fixes up to ESR 60.2 and a few enhancements have been backported. SeaMonkey-specific changes

Among the general platform and mail fixes this release contains backported fixes from Thunderbird for the EFAIL security vulnerability.

SeaMonkey now uses gtk3 on Linux. If you experience a problem because of this please file a bug

and link it to Switch Linux builds to GTK3 with SeaMonkey 2.49. Pleae try another OS theme first. Some of them are buggy and cause problems with SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and Firefox.

First, here's the Thunderbird release notes that it mentions:

What’s New

    changed

    Thunderbird will now prompt to compact IMAP folders even if the account is online. Note: Under certain circumstances an incorrect estimate of the expected gain is shown.
    fixed

    Complete fix of the EFAIL vulnerability: 1) Removing some HTML crafted to carry out an attack. 2) Optionally: Not decrypting subordinate message parts that otherwise might reveal decrypted content to the attacker. Preference mailnews.p7m_subparts_external needs to be set to true for added security.
    fixed

    Various problems when forwarding messages inline when using "simple" HTML view
    fixed

    Deleting or detaching attachments corrupted messages under certain circumstances (not working only in Thunderbird version 52.9.0)
    fixed

    Various security fixes

Here are the security fixes for Thunderbird:

Reporter
    Nils
Impact
    critical

Description

A buffer overflow can occur when rendering canvas content while adjusting the height and width of the <canvas> element dynamically, causing data to be written outside of the currently computed boundaries. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

#CVE-2018-12364: CSRF attacks through 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins

Reporter
    David Black
Impact
    high

Description

NPAPI plugins, such as Adobe Flash, can send non-simple cross-origin requests, bypassing CORS by making a same-origin POST that does a 307 redirect to the target site. This allows for a malicious site to engage in cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

#CVE-2018-12365: Compromised IPC child process can list local filenames

Reporter
    Alex Gaynor
Impact
    moderate

Description

A compromised IPC child process can escape the content sandbox and list the names of arbitrary files on the file system without user consent or interaction. This could result in exposure of private local files.

#CVE-2018-12368: No warning when opening executable SettingContent-ms files

Reporter
    Abdulrahman Alqabandi
Impact
    moderate

Description

Windows 10 does not warn users before opening executable files with the SettingContent-ms extension even when they have been downloaded from the internet and have the "Mark of the Web." Without the warning, unsuspecting users unfamiliar with this new file type might run an unwanted executable. This also allows a WebExtension with the limited downloads.open permission to execute arbitrary code without user interaction on Windows 10 systems
Note: this issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

Impact
    critical

Description

Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Jason Kratzer, David Major, Jon Coppeard, Nicolas B. Pierron, Jason Kratzer, Marcia Knous, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 60, Firefox ESR 60, Firefox ESR 52.8, and Thunderbird 52.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
