SeaMonkey is an open source web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC
chat client, and HTML editor.
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could possibly lead to arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2011-0080)
An arbitrary memory write flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled
out-of-memory conditions. If all memory was consumed when a user visited a
malicious web page, it could possibly lead to arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0078)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the HTML
frameset tag. A web page with a frameset tag containing large values for
the “rows” and “cols” attributes could trigger this flaw, possibly leading
to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0077)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the HTML iframe tag. A web
page with an iframe tag containing a specially-crafted source address could
trigger this flaw, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0075)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed multiple marquee elements.
A malformed HTML document could cause SeaMonkey to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0074)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the nsTreeSelection element.
Malformed content could cause SeaMonkey to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0073)
A use-after-free flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey appended frame and
iframe elements to a DOM tree when the NoScript add-on was enabled.
Malicious HTML content could cause SeaMonkey to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-0072)
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.
