CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2016:1041

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

This update upgrades Thunderbird to version 38.8.0.

Security Fix(es):

  • Two flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page
    containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially,
    execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird.
    (CVE-2016-2805, CVE-2016-2807)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.
Upstream acknowledges Phil Ringalda, Christian Holler, and Tyson Smith as the
original reporters.
