Ubuntu Security Notice 1748-1 - Bobby Holley discovered vulnerabilities in Chrome Object Wrappers (COW) and System Only Wrappers (SOW). If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page and had scripting enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass security protections to obtain sensitive information or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. Frederik Braun discovered that Thunderbird made the location of the active browser profile available to JavaScript workers. Scripting for Thunderbird is disabled by default in Ubuntu. Various other issues were also addressed.
