Mozilla on Thursday released an update to its Thunderbird email application to fix several security problems. Thunderbird 1.0.7 "is a security and stability update", Mozilla said on its Web site. The e-mail client is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Mozilla had already released 1.0.7 versions of its Firefox Web browser and the Mozilla Suite to deal with some of the same bugs. One of the problems fixed in the Thunderbird update is a Linux command line URL parsing security flaw that Secunia has rated "extremely critical" in its advisory. The vulnerability could let an attacker run malicious code on a vulnerable system, the security monitoring company said.
