Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian's version of the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client: Multiple memory safety errors, integer overflows, buffer overflows and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Solution

Upgrade the icedove packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 38.4.0-1~deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 38.4.0-1~deb8u1.

In addition enigmail has been updated to a release compatible with the new ESR38 series.
