First, here's the Thunderbird release notes that it mentions:
What’s New
changed
Thunderbird will now prompt to compact IMAP folders even if the account is online. Note: Under certain circumstances an incorrect estimate of the expected gain is shown.
fixed
Complete fix of the EFAIL vulnerability: 1) Removing some HTML crafted to carry out an attack. 2) Optionally: Not decrypting subordinate message parts that otherwise might reveal decrypted content to the attacker. Preference mailnews.p7m_subparts_external needs to be set to true for added security.
fixed
Various problems when forwarding messages inline when using "simple" HTML view
fixed
Deleting or detaching attachments corrupted messages under certain circumstances (not working only in Thunderbird version 52.9.0)
fixed
Various security fixes
Here are the security fixes for Thunderbird:

#CVE-2018-12364: CSRF attacks through 307 redirects and NPAPI plugins
Reporter
David Black
Impact
high
Description
NPAPI plugins, such as Adobe Flash, can send non-simple cross-origin requests, bypassing CORS by making a same-origin POST that does a 307 redirect to the target site. This allows for a malicious site to engage in cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

#CVE-2018-12365: Compromised IPC child process can list local filenames
Reporter
Alex Gaynor
Impact
moderate
Description
A compromised IPC child process can escape the content sandbox and list the names of arbitrary files on the file system without user consent or interaction. This could result in exposure of private local files.

#CVE-2018-12368: No warning when opening executable SettingContent-ms files
Reporter
Abdulrahman Alqabandi
Impact
moderate
Description
Windows 10 does not warn users before opening executable files with the SettingContent-ms extension even when they have been downloaded from the internet and have the "Mark of the Web." Without the warning, unsuspecting users unfamiliar with this new file type might run an unwanted executable. This also allows a WebExtension with the limited downloads.open permission to execute arbitrary code without user interaction on Windows 10 systems
Note: this issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2018-5188: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 61, Firefox ESR 60.1, Firefox ESR 52.9, and Thunderbird 52.9
Reporter

Impact
critical
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Jason Kratzer, David Major, Jon Coppeard, Nicolas B. Pierron, Jason Kratzer, Marcia Knous, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 60, Firefox ESR 60, Firefox ESR 52.8, and Thunderbird 52.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
