Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context,
an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, cause
undefined behaviour, spoof the browser UI, or execute arbitrary code.
