Izdana je nova inačica programskog paketa Mozilla Thunderbird koja ispravlja nekoliko sigurnosnih propusta. Radi se o popularnom mail i news klijentu. Propusti su posljedica prepisivanja spremnika, nepravilnosti u radu "nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment" metode te višestrukih nespecificiranih ranjivosti u mehanizmu za pretraživanje (eng. browser engine). Udaljenom napadaču omogućuju izvođenje DoS napada ili pokretanje proizvoljnog programskog koda. Kako bi zaštitili svoja računala od potencijalnih napada, korisnicima se savjetuje instalacija nove inačice.
