New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.

Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.
Description
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Icedove, Debian's version of the Mozilla Thunderbird mail and news client.
This includes several instances of use-after-free and buffer overflow issues. The reported vulnerabilities could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, and additionally to the bypass of content-loading restrictions via the location object.
Solution
Upgrade the icedove packages.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.11-1+squeeze13.
