Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, install lightweight themes without user interaction, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5150, CVE-2018-5154, CVE-2018-5155, CVE-2018-5159, CVE-2018-5168, CVE-2018-5178)
An issue was discovered when processing message headers in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application hang. (CVE-2018-5161)
It was discovered encrypted messages could leak plaintext via the src attribute of remote images or links. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5162)
It was discovered that the filename of an attachment could be spoofed. An attacker could potentially exploit this by tricking the user in to opening an attachment of a different type to the one expected. (CVE-2018-5170)
Multiple security issues were discovered in Skia. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5183)
It was discovered that S/MIME encrypted messages with remote content could leak plaintext via a chosen-ciphertext attack. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5184)
It was discovered that plaintext of decrypted emails could leak by submitting an embedded form. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5185)
