Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: important
Tags: security

Thunderbird is vulnerable to bug #293975; mozilla-firefox: vulnerable to IDN 
spoofing problems (bugzilla #279099).  Maybe severity should be changed to 
grave?  Alex, you decide.

The attached file (http://www.shmoo.com/testing_punycode/) will spoof paypal 
addresses when opened in thunderbird as html email.   

I have disabled IDN services in firefox (in compreg.dat), which fixes the 
problem for links clicked in firefox, yet when I click on these links in 
thunderbird, firefox opens the spoofed links.
