Ubuntu security bulletins (USN-503-1 - Thunderbird)

USN-503-1: Thunderbird Javascript flaws
Threat-level (*): Less-than-moderate

Affected Ubuntu versions:
  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  • Ubuntu 6.10
  • Ubuntu 7.04
  • (and the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu)
Affected Thunderbird version:
  • mozilla-thunderbird 1.5
It's recommended that you perform (at least) a standard upgrade of your system to avoid possible:
  • Attacks based on malicious-emails (based on Thunderbird Javascript flaws):
    • arbitrary execution of applications placed on the attacked computer with the privileges of the user that opened the malicious mail
    • execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
________
(*) = IMHO = It's just my opinion...
