Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird: Multiple memory
safety errors and use-after-frees may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or denial of service.

Debian follows the Thunderbird upstream releases. Support for the 52.x
series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the
60.x releases.

Between 52.x and 60.x, Thunderbird has undergone significant internal
updates, which makes it incompatible with a number of extensions. For
more information please refer to
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-thunderbird-60

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1:60.3.0-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.

It was discovered that there was a potential SSH passphrase disclosure
vulnerability in the ansible configuration management system,

The "User" module leaked data that was passed as a parameter to the
ssh-keygen(1) utility, thus revealing any credentials in cleartext form

1.7.2+dfsg-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ansible packages.
