thunderbird: CVE-2026-113869

Severity: High · CVSS 8.8CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Published: Oct 20, 2026, 7:14:55 PM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.28% · Oct 27, 2026

When Thunderbird asked for a security device password (for example a smartcard PIN or the Primary Password) while decrypting an S/MIME message, the message load could finish or be cancelled while the prompt was open. This freed the message decoder while it was still in use, causing a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 158.0.1.
