FWIIW, more vulnerabilities are listed at:
   <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html>

Some of the network releated ones may even affect the adressbook, 
although this is hard to verify in this context. You can always build 
your port with `make DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES [... other arguments ...]'.
