Debian DLA-1997-1 : thunderbird security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 131136

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Debian follows the Thunderbird upstream releases. Support for the 60.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 68.x releases.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:68.2.2-1~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.
