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-2015-7201, CVE-2015-7205, CVE-2015-7212,
CVE-2015-7213)
A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled content using the 'data:'
and 'view-source:' URIs. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass the
same-origin policy and read data from cross-site URLs and local files.
(CVE-2015-7214)
After installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
