high Nessus Plugin ID 20561

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-157-1 fixed some vulnerabilities in the Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The updated Thunderbird version broke compatibility with the Enigmail plugin. As announced in USN-157-1, the Enigmail package was now updated for Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) to work with the new Thunderbird version.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mozilla-enigmail and / or mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail packages.
