Debian DLA-1425-1 : thunderbird security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 111083

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or attacks on encrypted emails.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:52.9.1-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
