CVE-2011-0051
CVE-2011-0059
—
SeaMonkey is an open source web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC
chat client, and HTML editor.
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled dialog boxes. An attacker
could use this flaw to create a malicious web page that would present a
blank dialog box that has non-functioning buttons. If a user closes the
dialog box window, it could unexpectedly grant the malicious web page
elevated privileges. (CVE-2011-0051)
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0053)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled plug-ins that perform HTTP
requests. If a plug-in performed an HTTP request, and the server sent a 307
redirect response, the plug-in was not notified, and the HTTP request was
forwarded. The forwarded request could contain custom headers, which could
result in a Cross Site Request Forgery attack. (CVE-2011-0059)
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct
these issues. After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for
the changes to take effect.
