Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: thunderbird (UTSA-2026-101281)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336945

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-101281 advisory.

A malicious page could have used the type attribute of an OBJECT tag to override the default browser behavior when encountering a web resource served without a content-type. This could have contributed to an XSS on a site that unsafely serves files without a content-type header. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 144, Firefox ESR 140.4, Thunderbird 144, and Thunderbird 140.4.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected thunderbird package.
