Multiple serious vulnerabilities have been found in Thunderbird. Malicious users can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service, bypass security restrictions execute arbitrary code, obtain sensitive information and spoof user interface.

Below is a complete list of vulnerabilities:

1. A use-after-free vulnerability in WebSockets can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
2. A use-after-free vulnerability related to re-computing layout for a marquee element during window resizing can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
3. A use-after-free vulnerability related to premature removing of a editor DOM node during tree traversal can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
4. A use-after-free vulnerability related to reading an image observer during frame reconstruction can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
5. A use-after-free vulnerability related to manipulating the DOM during the resize event of an image element can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
6. A buffer overflow vulnerability in Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) can be exploited remotely to cause denial of service;
