A version of Mozilla Thunderbird which is older than 2.0.0.17 has been installed on the host. Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source based e-mail client, developed by the Mozilla project. Mozilla Thunderbird versions prior to 2.0.0.17 are vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by hosting a malicious page on a Web site or by sending it within an HTML email. An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities could execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
