Mozilla Thunderbird - Alter Version Number

OLLI_S

Mozilla Thunderbird is detected correctly on my system, but the displayed version number should be altered.
In the application the displayed version number is 60.4.0.
In VulnDetect the displayed version number is 60.4.
So you should show the same version number that is shown in the app.

Tell me if you need a screen shot of the Help -> About window.

Here the information extracted from the EXE file:

Yes, it is the same talk we had the other day and in this case we follow the Security Advisories:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird/#thunderbird60.5
It is not easy to pick the right one, when the vendor is inconsistent.
But in this case I will consider it, since they use 60.4.0 more frequently than 60.4 on the website - it just is annoying since the Security Advisories are the most "authoritative" since this is VulnDetect and not UpdateDetect

@Tom
I started a discussion about What Version Number to display.
Hopefully we get a solution there.

But if they are not consistent on their homepage then we should generally use the version number that is displayed in the app.
Hopefully inside the app it is consistent.

I installed an update for Thunderbird.
VulnDetect shows the version 60.5
Help -> About shows the version 60.5.0
