Synopsis:    Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue Date:  2011-08-16
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-2982
              CVE-2011-2983


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-2011-2982)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled malformed JavaScript. A 
web page containing malicious JavaScript could cause SeaMonkey to access
already freed memory, causing SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, 
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running 
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-2983)

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.
