Security update for Mozilla Thunderbird

This update for Mozilla Thunderbird to version 52.9.1 fixes multiple issues.

Security issues fixed, inherited from the Mozilla common code base (MFSA 2018-16, bsc#1098998):

  • CVE-2018-12359: Buffer overflow using computed size of canvas element
  • CVE-2018-12360: Use-after-free when using focus()
  • CVE-2018-12362: Integer overflow in SSSE3 scaler
  • CVE-2018-12363: Use-after-free when appending DOM nodes
  • CVE-2018-12364: CSRF attacks through 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins
  • CVE-2018-12365: Compromised IPC child process can list local filenames
  • CVE-2018-12366: Invalid data handling during QCMS transformations
  • CVE-2018-5188: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 52.9.0

Security issues fixed that affect e-mail privacy and integrity (including EFAIL):

  • CVE-2018-12372: S/MIME and PGP decryption oracles can be built with HTML emails (bsc#1100082)

  • Thunderbird will now prompt to compact IMAP folders even if the account is online
  • Fix various problems when forwarding messages inline when using 'simple' HTML view
  • Deleting or detaching attachments corrupted messages under certain circumstances (bsc#1100780)

The following tracked packaging changes are included:

  • correct requires and provides handling (boo#1076907)
  • reduce memory footprint with %ix86 at linking time via additional compiler flags (boo#1091376)
  • Build from upstream source archive and verify source signature (boo#1085780)
