CVE-2018-18513: Null Pointer Dereference

First published: Tue Jan 29 2019(Updated: )

A crash can occur when processing a crafted S/MIME message or an XPI package containing a crafted signature. This can be used as a denial-of-service (DOS) attack because Thunderbird reopens the last seen message on restart, triggering the crash again.
