The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0547.
SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup
client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed JavaScript
content. A web page containing such malicious content could cause SeaMonkey
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-2801, CVE-2008-2802, CVE-2008-2803)
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 as the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2008-2798, CVE-2008-2799, CVE-2008-2811)
Several flaws were found in the way malformed web content was displayed. A
web page containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a
SeaMonkey user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-2800)
Two local file disclosure flaws were found in SeaMonkey. A web page
containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to reveal the contents
of a local file to a remote attacker. (CVE-2008-2805, CVE-2008-2810)
A flaw was found in the way a malformed .properties file was processed by
SeaMonkey. A malicious extension could read uninitialized memory, possibly
leaking sensitive data to the extension. (CVE-2008-2807)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey escaped a listing of local file
names. If a user could be tricked into listing a local directory containing
malicious file names, arbitrary JavaScript could be run with the
permissions of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-2808)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed information about
self-signed certificates. It was possible for a self-signed certificate to
contain multiple alternate name entries, which were not all displayed to
the user, allowing them to mistakenly extend trust to an unknown site.
(CVE-2008-2809)
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.
