## Description

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.
