Debian DLA-472-2 : icedove regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91134

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The security update for icedove did not build on armhf. This is resolved by this upload.

The text of the original DLA follows :

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian's version of the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client. Multiple memory safety errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version 38.8.0-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icedove 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.
