DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla Thunderbird, which can

The vulnerability is caused due to an array indexing error when
processing floating point numbers. This can be exploited to corrupt

Lightning add-on or a specially crafted web page viewed through the
ThunderBrowse add-on.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

may also be affected.
