Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

This update upgrades Thunderbird to version 60.2.1.

Security Fix(es) :

* Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 62 and Firefox ESR 60.2
(CVE-2018-12376)

* Mozilla: Use-after-free in driver timers (CVE-2018-12377)

* Mozilla: Use-after-free in IndexedDB (CVE-2018-12378)

* Mozilla: Proxy bypass using automount and autofs (CVE-2017-16541)

* Mozilla: Out-of-bounds write with malicious MAR file
(CVE-2018-12379)

* Mozilla: Crash in TransportSecurityInfo due to cached data
(CVE-2018-12385)

* Mozilla: Setting a master password post-Firefox 58 does not delete
unencrypted previously stored passwords (CVE-2018-12383)

Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited in Thunderbird by a
specially crafted HTML mail, as JavaScript is disabled for mail
messages and cannot be enabled. They could be exploited another way in
Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the remote content of an RSS
feed.

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a
CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s)
listed in the References section.
