Thunderbird holes plugged

Several security holes in Mozilla Thunderbird have been plugged by Mozilla in their latest version of the e-mail client. Thunderbird 1.0.7, which is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS, is a security and stability update. One of the security flaws which were fixed is a Linux command line URL parsing security flaw which could allow an attacker to run malicious code on the infected system. As hackers grow in number, intelligence and innovativeness it has become extremely difficult for information security officers to fix flaws.

It is very important for users to patch their systems as soon as the patches are released so that they are not vulnerable to attacks and thus make life easier for security officers.
