Mozilla Zaps Thunderbird Security Bugs



The Mozilla Foundation on Friday shipped a new version of its Thunderbird mail client to plug a potentially serious URL parsing security hole affecting Linux users.

The open-source group described Thunderbird 1.0.7 as a "security and stability update" that provides a comprehensive fix for the URL parsing bug that was also flagged in the Firefox browser.

 

 

That flaw, which affects Thunderbird users on Linux, has already been fixed in Firefox 1.0.7 and the Mozilla Suite 1.7.12. It could allow a malicious URL to execute shell commands with the privileges of the logged-on user.
