Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Thunderbird could be made to crash or run programs as your login.

Software Description: - thunderbird: Mozilla Open Source mail and newsgroup client

Details:

USN-1758-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. This update provides the corresponding update for Thunderbird.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Firefox contained a memory safety issue. If a user
were tricked into opening a specially crafted page with the HTML editor, a
remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
thunderbird 17.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
thunderbird 17.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
thunderbird 17.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
thunderbird 17.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart Thunderbird to make all the necessary changes.
