Description:Summary:

package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued a fraudulent HTTPS
certificate. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that
CA as untrusted, except for a select few. The now untrusted certificates
that were issued before July 1, 2011 can be manually re-enabled and used
again at your own risk in Thunderbird. However, affected certificates
issued after this date cannot be re-enabled or used. (BZ#734316)

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue. All running instances of Thunderbird must be
restarted for the update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
thunderbird on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.

CVSS Score:
