Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2023-07-26 06:33:55 UTC 
Thunderbird allowed the Text Direction Override Unicode Character in filenames.
An email attachment could be incorrectly shown as being a document file, while
in  fact it was an executable file. Newer versions of Thunderbird will strip the
character and show the correct file extension. This vulnerability affects
Thunderbird < 115.0.1.
