The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-03 (Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Georgi Guninski and David Bienvenu discovered buffer overflows in the     processing of long 'Content-Type:' and long non-ASCII MIME headers.
Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in     the conversion of a CSS cursor. Different vulnerabilities involving     memory corruption in the browser engine were also fixed. Mozilla     Thunderbird also contains less severe vulnerabilities involving     JavaScript and Java.

Impact :

An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted email that     will trigger one of these vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the     execution of arbitrary code. An attacker could also perform cross-site     scripting attacks, leading to the exposure of sensitive information,     like user credentials. Note that the execution of JavaScript or Java     applets is disabled by default and enabling it is strongly discouraged.

Workaround :

There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
