NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird package and not the thunderbird package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The mozilla::net::FailDelayManager::Lookup function in the WebSockets implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.1, Thunderbird before 16.0.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.13.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
