USN-5152-1: Thunderbird vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 21.10

Packages

• thunderbird - Mozilla Open Source mail and newsgroup client

Details

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an
attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
bypass security restrictions, spoof the UI, confuse the user, conduct
phishing attacks, or execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 21.10

• thunderbird - 1:91.3.1+build1-0ubuntu0.21.10.1

After a standard system update you need to restart Thunderbird to make
all the necessary changes.
