CVE-2021-23991

Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.8)—

Si un usuario de Thunderbird ha importado previamente la clave OpenPGP de Alice, y Alice ha ampliado el periodo de validez de su clave, pero la clave actualizada de Alice aún no ha sido importada, un atacante puede enviar un correo electrónico conteniendo una versión diseñada de la clave de Alice con una subclave no válida, Thunderbird podría posteriormente intentar usar la subclave no válida, y producirá un fallo al enviar el correo electrónico cifrado a Alice. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 78.9.1
