Hello Olivier, thank you very much for your efforts but I have to bring this up here: Having "some general friction with following upstream" seems to be an ongoing problem with Thunderbird.
Transition from TB 68 to 78 left users of ubuntus latest LTS without security updates for over 6 months https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1895643 From TB 78 to 91 the (un)security gap for (latest) LTS users has been over 4 months https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1949605 and now in the transition between TB 91 and 102 we are already over 3 months without security updates. All this for the at that points of time latest Ubuntu LTS. Older LTS have/had to wait even longer for security updates. At the same time unpatched security vulnerabilities and CVEs are popping up more and more. I've been watching this misery for years now and I really appreciate Olivier's efforts, but there seems to be something fundamentally wrong here. Besides browsers, mail clients are the second most exposed user applications and a classic gateway for malware. It is unacceptable that Thunderbird regularly exists unpatched for so long periods of time. This sheds a very bad light on Ubuntu's security. I know that there are optional Snaps but the vast majority of users stick with the pre-installed programs and are led to believe that they will receive regular updates this way. And they should be right about that. So what can be done to fix this issue once and for all? /edit: and how long will it take this time? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1990886 Title: Security updates missing after 91.11.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1990886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
