The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3868-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, bypass same-origin restrictions, or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
