CVE-2026-57962 Details
Description
A malicious LDAP server, which a Thunderbird user is configured to query for address-book autocomplete, can stash arbitrarily large amounts of attacker-supplied data into the Thunderbird LDAP client until it crashes due to memory exhaustion. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 152.0.1 and Thunderbird 140.12.1.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Mozilla Thunderbird's LDAP client functionality. When a user queries a malicious LDAP server for address-book autocomplete, the server can send an excessive amount of attacker-controlled data to the Thunderbird client. This influx of data can overwhelm the application's memory resources, leading to a crash. The issue affects Thunderbird versions prior to 152.0.1 and 140.12.1.
Users can upgrade to Thunderbird versions 152.0.1 or 140.12.1 to address this vulnerability.
