CVE-2008-0591  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 icedove to version 2.0.0.12-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icedove package and not the icedove package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12 does not properly manage a delay timer used in confirmation dialogs, which might allow remote attackers to trick users into confirming an unsafe action, such as remote file execution, by using a timer to change the window focus, aka the "dialog refocus bug" or "ffclick2".
