medium Nessus Plugin ID 29694

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update brings Mozilla Thunderbird to security update version 2.0.0.9

Following security problems were fixed :

 - MFSA 2007-29: Crashes with evidence of memory corruption As part of the Firefox 2.0.0.8 update releases Mozilla developers fixed many bugs to improve the stability of the product. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Also enigmail was upgraded to 0.95.5.
