Ubuntu Security Notice 503-1 - Various flaws were discovered in the layout and JavaScript engines. By tricking a user into opening a malicious email, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. Please note that JavaScript is disabled by default for emails, and it is not recommended to enable it. Jesper Johansson discovered that spaces and double-quotes were not correctly handled when launching external programs. In rare configurations, after tricking a user into opening a malicious email, an attacker could execute helpers with arbitrary arguments with the user's privileges.

09a93ae755c8850298dff969f0aaed4e9395ebe574184598d2c77a04e5ddd3f8iDefense Security Advisory 07.19.07 - Remote exploitation of an input handling vulnerability within multiple browsers on the Microsoft Windows platform allows code execution as the local user. This vulnerability is due to interaction between programs. The most commonly used Microsoft Windows URL protocol handling code doesn't provide a way for the URI handling application to distinguish the end of one argument from the start of another. The problem is caused by the fact that browsers do not pct-encode certain characters in some URIs, which does not comply with the behavior that RFC3986 (also known as IETF STD 66) requires. As a result, a specially constructed link could be interpreted as multiple arguments by a URI protocol handler.
