Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 Released


Mozilla has fixed two security issues in this update.

Previous Thunderbird versions did not percent-encode spaces and double-quotes in URIs handed off to external programs for handling, which can cause the receiving program to mistakenly interpret a single URI as multiple arguments. This bug is fixed in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6.

Privilege escalation through chrome-loaded about:blank windows issue also has been fixed in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6.
