New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Synopsis

A mail client installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-14 advisory.
