3. Description:

 

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

page containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Thunderbird. (CVE-2016-1952, CVE-2016-1954, CVE-2016-1957, CVE-2016-1960,

CVE-2016-1961, CVE-2016-1974, CVE-2016-1964, CVE-2016-1966)

 

Multiple security flaws were found in the graphite2 font library shipped

with Thunderbird. A web page containing malicious content could cause

Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2016-1977, CVE-2016-2790,

CVE-2016-2791, CVE-2016-2792, CVE-2016-2793, CVE-2016-2794, CVE-2016-2795,

CVE-2016-2796, CVE-2016-2797, CVE-2016-2798, CVE-2016-2799, CVE-2016-2800,
