Security Fix(es):

  * Multiple 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-2016-5257)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.

Campen, Jon Coppeard, Steve Fink, Tyson Smith, Philipp and Carsten Book as
