| Description: | SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the jar: URI scheme. It was possible for a malicious website to leverage this flaw and conduct a cross-site scripting attack against a user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-5947)
Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-5959)
A race condition existed when Seamonkey set the "window.location" property for a webpage. This flaw could allow a webpage to set an arbitrary Referer header, which may lead to a Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against websites that rely only on the Referer header for protection. (CVE-2007-5960)
Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
