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 138.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-41 advisory.
