  • Thunderbird 140.16

Many of these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled when reading mail, however they may pose risks in browser or browser-like contexts.

Note: We have changed how we publish advisories. We no longer roll all internally identified memory safety vulnerabilities into a single CVE and are now issuing an advisory for every individual bug.
