icedove

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2016-2806.

More information:

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian's version of the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client: Multiple memory safety errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Debian follows the extended support releases (ESR) of Thunderbird. Support for the 38.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 45.x releases.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 45.1.0-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icedove packages.
