RHSA-2010:0546-01: RHSA-2010:0546-01 Critical: seamonkey security update
Red Hat Security Advisory
Description:



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)
