NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream MozillaThunderbird-translations-other package and not the MozillaThunderbird-translations-other package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

Thunderbird did not check if the user ID associated with an OpenPGP key has a valid self signature. An attacker may create a crafted version of an OpenPGP key, by either replacing the original user ID, or by adding another user ID. If Thunderbird imports and accepts the crafted key, the Thunderbird user may falsely conclude that the false user ID belongs to the correspondent. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.9.1.
