Thunderbird 'IE' Fix

Publication:PC WorldDate:Jul 22 2007

The Mozilla organization has released an update to its Thunderbird 2.x e-mail client that fixes two critical security holes. These same fixes were also recently implemented in Firefox 2.0.0.5.

At that time, one of these holes generated a bit of controversy when researchers found an exploit that could take advantage of apparent flaws in both Firefox and Internet Explorer in a play to take over a user's PC remotely. (I discussed this at the time in an earlier posting.)
