A thunderbird security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address multiple security issues.



DLA 2247-1: thunderbird security update


Package : thunderbird
Version : 1:68.9.0-1~deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2020-12398 CVE-2020-12399 CVE-2020-12405 CVE-2020-12406
CVE-2020-12410

Multiple security issues have been found in Thunderbird which could
result in the setup of a non-encrypted IMAP connection, denial of service
or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1:68.9.0-1~deb8u2.

NOTE: 1:68.9.0esr-1~deb8u2 fixes an i386 build error in the otherwise
identical 1:68.9.0esr-1~deb8u1 that was uploaded but not announced.

We recommend that you upgrade your thunderbird packages.
