Whack-a-Mole: Cybersecurity Edition — Thunderbird’s Vulnerabilities Exposed
Red Hat’s Thunderbird client recently faced several vulnerabilities, but a quick security advisory was issued to patch things up. It’s just another day in the life of cybersecurity, feeling like a never-ending game of ‘Whack-a-Mole’.
Hot Take:
The Red Hat universe is currently going through a bit of a rough patch with its favourite mail and newsgroup client, Thunderbird. Turns out, it had a few buffer overflow, out-of-bounds write, and use-after-free vulnerabilities just casually hanging out in its system. You know, just your typical Tuesday. They've released a security update (RHSA-2023:5475-01), but I can't help but feel a little like we're all just living in a giant game of 'Whack-a-Mole: Cybersecurity Edition'.Already a member?
