Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:052 (mozilla-thunderbird).

The WYSIWYG rendering engine in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 and earlier permits
user-complicit attackers to bypass javascript security settings and obtain
sensitive information or cause a crash via an e-mail containing a javascript
URI in the SRC attribute of an IFRAME tag, which is executed when the user
edits the e-mail. Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
