How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 thunderbird to version 1.5.0.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird package and not the thunderbird package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 returns the Object class prototype instead of the global window object when (1) .valueOf.call or (2) .valueOf.apply are called without any arguments, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
