Package : thunderbird CVE ID : CVE-2025-10527 CVE-2025-10528 CVE-2025-10529 CVE-2025-10532 CVE-2025-10533 CVE-2025-10536 CVE-2025-10537

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian follows the Thunderbird upstream releases. Support for the 128.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 140.x series.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1:140.3.0esr-1~deb12u1.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:140.3.0esr-1~deb13u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.

For the detailed security status of thunderbird please refer to its security tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the thunderbird packages.
