An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5430 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mozilla Thunderbird. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5430/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5430/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5430","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5430/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5430","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5j5r-p4gq-qg52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Mozilla Thunderbird by sending emails with excessive MIME parts or headers, requiring user interaction to open the message.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.14 does not properly handle (1) multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and possibly (2) e-mail messages with many \"Content-type: message/rfc822;\" headers, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption or other resource consumption) via a large e-mail message, a related issue to CVE-2006-1173.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5430","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mozilla:thunderbird","products":["mozilla:thunderbird"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5431"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5429"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Ambiguous parsing of mail headers","id":"CVE-2026-92238","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Calendar invitation attachments could launch local executables","id":"CVE-2026-84637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Thunderbird","id":"CVE-2021-43529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Thunderbird","id":"CVE-2019-11703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Thunderbird","id":"CVE-2019-11704","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Thunderbird","id":"CVE-2019-11705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in Thunderbird","id":"CVE-2018-18512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Mozilla Thunderbird by sending emails with excessive MIME parts or headers, requiring user interaction to open the message.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5430/"}
