The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200805-18 (Mozilla products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    The following vulnerabilities were reported in all mentioned Mozilla     products:
    Jesse Ruderman, Kai Engert, Martijn Wargers, Mats Palmgren, and Paul     Nickerson reported browser crashes related to JavaScript methods,     possibly triggering memory corruption (CVE-2008-0412).
    Carsten Book, Wesley Garland, Igor Bukanov, moz_bug_r_a4, shutdown,     Philip Taylor, and tgirmann reported crashes in the JavaScript engine,     possibly triggering memory corruption (CVE-2008-0413).
    David Bloom discovered a vulnerability in the way images are treated by     the browser when a user leaves a page, possibly triggering memory     corruption (CVE-2008-0419).

    Gerry Eisenhaur discovered a directory traversal vulnerability when     using 'flat' addons (CVE-2008-0418).
    Alexey Proskuryakov, Yosuke Hasegawa and Simon Montagu reported     multiple character handling flaws related to the backspace character,     the '0x80' character, involving zero-length non-ASCII sequences in     multiple character sets, that could facilitate Cross-Site Scripting     attacks (CVE-2008-0416).
    The following vulnerability was reported in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey:
    regenrecht (via iDefense) reported a heap-based buffer overflow when     rendering an email message with an external MIME body (CVE-2008-0304).
    The following vulnerabilities were reported in Firefox, SeaMonkey and     XULRunner:
    The fix for CVE-2008-1237 in Firefox 2.0.0.13     and SeaMonkey 1.1.9 introduced a new crash vulnerability     (CVE-2008-1380).
    hong and Gregory Fleischer each reported a     variant on earlier reported bugs regarding focus shifting in file input     controls (CVE-2008-0414).

    Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that a web forgery     warning dialog is not displayed if the entire contents of a web page     are in a DIV tag that uses absolute positioning (CVE-2008-0594).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web     page or email that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly     leading to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. It     is also possible for an attacker to trick a user to upload arbitrary     files when submitting a form, to corrupt saved passwords for other     sites, to steal login credentials, or to conduct Cross-Site Scripting     and Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Mozilla Thunderbird prior to 2.0.0.14 are affected by various security issues :

 - A series of vulnerabilities that allow for JavaScript privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.
 - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption.

The installed version of SeaMonkey is affected by various security issues :
 - A series of vulnerabilities that allow for JavaScript privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.
 - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption.
 - An HTTP Referer spoofing issue with malformed URLs.
 - A privacy issue with SSL client authentication.
 - Web content fetched via the 'jar:' protocol can use Java via LiveConnect to open socket connections to arbitrary ports on the localhost.
 - It is possible to have a background tab create a borderless XUL pop-up in front of the active tab in the user's browser.

The installed version of Thunderbird is missing a critical patch.  The vendor has released a patch that addresses a number of remote vulnerabilities.
