"The installed version of Thunderbird 3.1 is earlier than 3.1.6.  Such
versions are potentially affected by a heap-based buffer overflow
vulnerability. 

The combination of DOM insertions and the handling of the JavaScript
function 'document.write()' exposes an error that can lead to a
heap-based buffer overflow.

Note that reading email does not expose this vulnerability, however
the vulnerability can be triggered when viewing RSS feeds while
JavaScript or third-party plugins providing browser-like functionality
are enabled. 

Also, note that there have been reports that this issue is being
actively exploited in the wild.");
