[slackware-security]  mozilla-thunderbird (SSA:2006-357-02)

New mozilla-thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0
to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.9-i686-1.tgz:
  Upgraded to thunderbird-1.5.0.9.
  This upgrade fixes several possible security bugs.
  For more information, see:
    http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#thunderbird
  (* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+


Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.

Updated package for Slackware 10.2:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.9-i686-1.tgz
