Mozilla Messaging patched nine security vulnerabilities in Thunderbird yesterday, the first time it has plugged holes in the e-mail software since early May.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.16, which was added to Mozilla's download servers late Wednesday, quashes nine bugs, including one that was patched last week in Firefox, the company's open-source browser. The remainder fix flaws that were first addressed in early July when Mozilla updated Firefox to Version 2.0.0.15.

It's not unusual for Thunderbird security updates to lag behind those released for Firefox. Seven of the nine bugs were rated "moderate" by Mozilla, the second-lowest of the four rankings in its threat system. The other two were pegged as "low."
