Mozilla Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.19
process e-mail attachments with a parser that performs casts and line
termination incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code via a crafted message, related to message indexing.
