Thunderbird before 0.9, when running on Windows systems, uses the default handler when processing javascript: links, which invokes Internet Explorer and may expose the Thunderbird user to vulnerabilities in the version of Internet Explorer that is installed on the user's system. NOTE: since the invocation between multiple products is a common practice, and the vulnerabilities inherent in multi-product interactions are not easily enumerable, this issue might be REJECTED in the future.

Versions of Mozilla Firefox prior to 1.7.5 are vulnerable to a heap overflow against its NNTP functionality. This may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host. To exploit this flaw, an attacker would need to set up a rogue website and lure a victim on the remote host into visiting it. 

The remote host is using Firefox. The remote version of this software contains a security issue that may allow an attacker to determine existence of local files, cause a DoS and steal passwords (Windows only). The security vulnerability is due to the fact that Firefox does not handle correctly <IMG> tags.
