    <p>
    Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular open-source email client from the
    Mozilla project.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Thunderbird's
    HTML browser engine (CVE-2007-5339) and JavaScript engine
    (CVE-2007-5340) that can be exploited to cause a memory corruption.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to read a specially crafted email
    that could trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the
    execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time for all of these issues, but
    some of them can be avoided by disabling JavaScript.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.9&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-2.0.0.9&quot;</code>
