Mozilla Corp.'s Thunderbird e-mail client for Linux suffers from the same serious vulnerability as its Firefox browser, a security firm said Thursday. The difference: Thunderbird has not been patched.

Secunia, a Danish vulnerability tracking vendor, rated the bug -- which like the one disclosed Tuesday in the Linux edition of Firefox, relates to how the software processes URLs -- as "Extremely critical," the company's most dire warning.
