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 45.4.0.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these
issues. Upstream acknowledges Christoph Diehl, Andrew McCreight, Dan
Minor, Byron Campen, Jon Coppeard, Steve Fink, Tyson Smith, Philipp
