The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2010:0546.
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 cause SeaMonkey to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-1211, CVE-2010-2753, CVE-2010-1214)
A memory corruption flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey decoded certain PNG
images. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PNG image that, when
opened, could cause SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-1205)
A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in SeaMonkey. An attacker could
create a malicious web page that, when viewed by a victim, could steal
private data from a different website the victim has loaded with SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2010-2754)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed the location bar when
visiting a secure web page. A malicious server could use this flaw to
present data that appears to originate from a secure server, even though it
does not. (CVE-2010-2751)
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.
