The remote host is missing an update to mozilla-thunderbird announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:051.
A vulnerabilitiy has been found and corrected in mozilla-thunderbird:
Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported that the HTML parser incorrectly freed used memory when insufficient space was available to process remaining input. Under such circumstances, memory occupied by in-use objects was freed and could later be filled with attacker-controlled text. These conditions could result in the execution or arbitrary code if methods on the freed objects were subsequently called (CVE-2009-1571).
