updates.

Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited in Thunderbird by a
specially crafted HTML mail, as JavaScript is disabled for mail
messages and cannot be enabled. They could be exploited another way in
Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the remote content of an RSS
feed.
Solution
Update the affected thunderbird and / or thunderbird-debuginfo
packages.
