Thunderbird: Thunderbird did not check if the user ID associated with an OpenPGP key has a valid self signature.
CVE-2021-23992 is fixed in 7 products on 2 platforms, first by RHSA-2021:1193, released April 14, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Thunderbird did not check if the user ID associated with an OpenPGP key has a valid self signature. An attacker may create a crafted version of an OpenPGP key, by either replacing the original user ID, or by adding another user ID. If Thunderbird imports and accepts the crafted key, the Thunderbird user may falsely conclude that the false user ID belongs to the correspondent. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.9.1.
