Matrix Javascript SDK is the Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. Starting with version 17.1.0-rc.1, improperly formed beacon events can disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to the consumer. This is patched in matrix-js-sdk v19.7.0. Redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor to store data, and restarting the client are possible workarounds. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events and clearing all storage will fix the further perceived issues. Downgrading to an unaffected version, noting that such a version may be subject to other vulnerabilities, will additionally resolve the issue.

Title: Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Thunderbird.
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were

bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) or other security restrictions, or
execute arbitrary code. These issues only affect Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu
20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3266, CVE-2022-40956,

Improper beacon events in matrix-js-sdk can result in availability issues
### Impact
Improperly formed beacon events (from [MSC3488](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3488)) can disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to the consumer.
### Patches
This is patched in matrix-js-sdk v19.7.0
### Workarounds
Redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor to store data, and restarting the client can often fix it. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events and clearing all storage will fix the further perceived issues.
