execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking
Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-2373)
 
Jordi Chancel discovered a vulnerability on multipart/x-mixed-replace

potentially use these to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2011-0083, CVE-2011-0085, CVE-2011-2363)

David Chan discovered that cookies did not honor same-origin conventions.
