NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird-debuginfo package and not the thunderbird-debuginfo package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The code to parse MIME headers for display when forwarding a message (if the setting to view all headers was enabled) had an off-by-one error, allowing a single byte to be read from the memory after the buffer for the headers, and potentially crashing Thunderbird. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 153 and Thunderbird 140.13.
