The remote host is missing an update for the 'thunderbird' package(s) announced via the USN-4701-1 advisory. 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, obtain sensitive information, bypass the CSS sanitizer, or execute arbitrary code
