DescriptionCVE.org

A maliciously constructed mail header could lead to a one byte read past the end of a buffer. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 155, Thunderbird 140.15, and Thunderbird 153.2.

Thunderbird's mail header parser triggers a one-byte buffer over-read (CWE-126) when processing a maliciously crafted message header, potentially exposing a single byte of adjacent heap memory to the sender. All Thunderbird versions across three active release branches are affected until patched - 155, 140.15, and 153.2. …
