This update for Mozilla Thunderbird to version 52.9.1 fixes multiple issues.

Security issues fixed, inherited from the Mozilla common code base (MFSA 2018-16, bsc#1098998):

  • CVE-2018-12359: Buffer overflow using computed size of canvas element

  • CVE-2018-12362: Integer overflow in SSSE3 scaler
  • CVE-2018-12363: Use-after-free when appending DOM nodes
  • CVE-2018-12364: CSRF attacks through 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins
  • CVE-2018-12365: Compromised IPC child process can list local filenames
  • CVE-2018-12366: Invalid data handling during QCMS transformations
  • CVE-2018-5188: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 52.9.0

Security issues fixed that affect e-mail privacy and integrity (including EFAIL):
