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-2016-5290)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.
Upstream acknowledges Olli Pettay, Christian Holler, Ehsan Akhgari, Jon
Coppeard, Gary Kwong, Tooru Fujisawa, Philipp, and Randell Jesup as the
