AlmaLinux 8

SharedLicense लाइसेंस के तहत इसका अर्थ

Thunderbird renders untrusted email content with browser-grade engines — use-after-free and sandbox-boundary flaws in that engine are the standard malicious-email-to-code-execution chain, making mail clients a prime phishing-adjacent attack surface.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.
