This is not a mail security bug.

As for loongarch support in Thunderbird, it won't happen until it's supported in Firefox, efforts are best directed there for now. See bug 1746335.

Botan may get updated for other reasons, but otherwise this bug remains a P5.

There is no released version of RNP that supports Botan 3. Version 0.17.0 (latest as of writing this) only supports Botan 2.

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Comment 4 is correct, and we are using RNP 0.17.1 already, since 115.13.0, the work was done in bug 1885353.

Bug 1848104 is a newer tracking bug for more recent Botan.
