Detail

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

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Thunderbird could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a malicious message.

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

Details:

Christian Holler, Carsten Book, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Andrew McCreight, and Phil Ringnalda discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2836)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
thunderbird 1:45.3.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
thunderbird 1:45.3.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.4

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
thunderbird 1:45.3.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

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