Synopsis:          Important: thunderbird security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:0918-1
Issue Date:        2014-07-22
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2014-1547
                   CVE-2014-1555
                   CVE-2014-1556
                   CVE-2014-1557

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running Thunderbird. (CVE-2014-1547, CVE-2014-1555, CVE-2014-1556,
CVE-2014-1557)

Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited by a specially crafted
HTML mail message as JavaScript is disabled by default for mail messages.
They could be exploited another way in Thunderbird, for example, when
viewing the full remote content of an RSS feed.

7.0, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Thunderbird
must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
