Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed HTML mail
content. An HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause
Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user
running Thunderbird. (CVE-2009-0352, CVE-2009-0353, CVE-2009-0772,
CVE-2009-0774, CVE-2009-0775)

Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. An
HTML mail message containing specially-crafted content could potentially
trick a Thunderbird user into surrendering sensitive information.
(CVE-2009-0355, CVE-2009-0776)

Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird. None of
the above issues are exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled.

All running instances of Thunderbird must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
