CVE-2026-7322

Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird ESR 140.10.1 and Thunderbird 150.0.1

Published Apr 28, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird ESR 140.10.0 and Thunderbird 150.0.0. 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. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 150.0.1, Firefox ESR 140.10.1, Firefox ESR 115.35.1, Thunderbird 150.0.1, and Thunderbird 140.10.1.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Memory safety bugs were discovered in Thunderbird ESR 140.10.0 and 150.0.0, exhibiting evidence of memory corruption that could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code. The flaws align with CWE‑119 (Buffer Overflow), CWE‑416 (Use‑After‑Free), and CWE‑787 (Out‑of‑Bounds Write), which can corrupt program memory and allow an attacker to influence control flow. Based on the description, it is inferred that the vulnerability can be triggered by malicious content such as crafted email attachments or messages, and may require user interaction or trust in the affected client to execute.

Affected Systems

The documented affected releases are Mozilla Thunderbird ESR 140.10.0 and 150.0.0. In addition, the patches applied to Firefox 150.0.1, ESR 140.10.1, and ESR 115.35.1 suggest that earlier Firefox 150.0.0, ESR 140.10.0, and ESR 115.35.0 were likely affected, although the baseline description does not explicitly list them.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.3 indicates a high severity level, while the EPSS score of less than 1% and the absence from CISA KEV imply a low likelihood of current exploitation. The likely attack vector is the delivery of malicious content to a user of the affected client, potentially through phishing or unsolicited attachments, which would need user interaction to be executed. Successful exploitation would grant an attacker arbitrary code execution on the compromised system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the patched releases: upgrade Thunderbird to 140.10.1 or 150.0.1, and upgrade Firefox to 150.0.1, ESR 140.10.1, or ESR 115.35.1.
  • If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable or remove any legacy add‑ons or extensions that may introduce memory safety issues.
  • Continuously monitor Mozilla’s security advisories and apply subsequent patches promptly to protect against related memory safety vulnerabilities.
