Description:
    Previous versions of the thunderbird package have multiple
    vulnerabilities that are resolved in this version.  Most of
    the vulnerabilities are applicable only if Javascript has been
    enabled for email; the Mozilla Foundation strongly recommends
    that Javascript always be disabled for email and thunderbird
    disables Javascript by default.  One of the vulnerabilities
    can cause thunderbird to crash when reading a malformed vCard.
    The Mozilla Foundation has indicated that it is unlikely that
    this issue (MFSA-2006-49, CVE-2006-3804) can be used to enable
    unauthenticated remote access, but warns that similar classes
    of vulnerabilities have been exploited to enable unauthenticated
    remote access in the past.
