* CVE-2020-12410

Description:
"Mozilla developers Tom Tung and Karl Tomlinson reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 68.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code."

* CVE-2020-12398

Description:
"If Thunderbird is configured to use STARTTLS for an IMAP server, and the server sends a PREAUTH response, then Thunderbird will continue with an unencrypted connection, causing email data to be sent without protection."
