NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream MozillaFirefox-branding-SLE package and not the MozillaFirefox-branding-SLE package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 78.13.0. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.1 and Firefox ESR < 91.1.
