This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Debian follows the Thunderbird upstream releases. Support for the 60.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 68.x releases.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:68.2.2-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has thunderbird packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool     the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document     parsing too early; a consecutive call to     XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber)     then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.
    (CVE-2019-15903)

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