Hot Take:

Looks like Thunderbird just got a little less shocking! With these vulnerabilities fixed, hopefully, users can now enjoy their emails without feeling like they’re opening a surprise box of cyber shenanigans. But hey, who knew emails could be this exciting, right? It’s like Thunderbird is saying, “No bugs allowed, unless it’s a cute lightning bug!”

Key Points:

  • Several high-impact vulnerabilities in Thunderbird were patched in version 140.4.
  • Most vulnerabilities could not be exploited via email, thanks to disabled scripting.
  • Key issues included out-of-bounds read/write, cross-process info leaks, and memory safety bugs.
  • JavaScript object properties and browser behavior overrides were among the concerns.
  • A “Copy as cURL” command vulnerability was fixed to prevent unexpected code execution on Windows.
