Summary
Jesse Ruderman, Mats Palmgren, Byron Campen, and Steve Fink discovered
multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to
opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker
could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via
application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2015-2708)

the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2015-2710)
Scott Bell discovered a use-afer-free during the processing of text when
