(CVE-2005-2703) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird implemented its XBL interface. It may be possible for a malicious web page to create an XBL binding in such a way that would permit arbitrary JavaScript execution with chrome permissions.

It is possible for a malicious web page to open an about: page, such as about:mozilla, in such a way that it becomes possible to execute JavaScript with chrome rights. (CVE-2005-2706) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird opens new windows. It is possible for a malicious web site to construct a new window without any user interface components, such as the address bar and the status bar. This window could then be used to mislead the user for malicious purposes. (CVE-2005-2707) A bug was found in the way Thunderbird processes URLs passed to it on the command line. If a user passes a malformed URL to Thunderbird, such as clicking on a link in an instant messaging program, it is possible to execute arbitrary commands as the user running Thunderbird.
