| Descripción: | The remote host is missing an update to thunderbird-locales announced via advisory USN-1020-1.
Details follow:
Jesse Ruderman, Andreas Gal, Nils, Brian Hackett, and Igor Bukanov discovered several memory issues in the browser engine. An attacker could exploit these to crash THunderbird or possibly run arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-3776, CVE-2010-3777, CVE-2010-3778)
Marc Schoenefeld and Christoph Diehl discovered several problems when handling downloadable fonts. The new OTS font sanitizing library was added to mitigate these issues. (CVE-2010-3768)
Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: thunderbird 3.1.7+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
Ubuntu 10.10: thunderbird 3.1.7+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1
After a standard system update you need to restart Thunderbird to make all the necessary changes.
