CVE-2018-18505

An earlier fix for an Inter-process Communication (IPC) vulnerability, CVE-2011-3079, added authentication to communication between IPC endpoints and server parents during IPC process creation. This authentication is insufficient for channels created after the IPC process is started, leading to the authentication not being correctly applied to later channels. This could allow for a sandbox escape through IPC channels due to lack of message validation in the listener process. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR < 60.5, and Firefox < 65.

Other bug fixes and changes:

• 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 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.

• 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

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, gain additional privileges by escaping the sandbox, or execute arbitrary code.
