Updated seamonkey packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Fedora Core 5

Summary

SeaMonkey (former Mozilla) is an open-source web browser, designed for standards

compliance, performance and portability.

Updated seamonkey packages that fix several security bugs

are now available for Fedora Core 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security

impact by the Fedora Security Response Team.

SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and

newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed

certain malformed JavaScript code. A web page containing

malicious JavaScript code could cause SeaMonkey to crash or

potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running

SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-2867, CVE-2007-2868)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled certain FTP

PASV commands. A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to

perform a rudimentary port-scan of machines behind a user's

firewall. (CVE-2007-1562)

Several denial of service flaws were found in the way

SeaMonkey handled certain form and cookie data. A malicious

web site that is able to set arbitrary form and cookie data

could prevent SeaMonkey from functioning properly.

(CVE-2007-1362, CVE-2007-2869)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain APOP

authentication requests. By sending certain responses when

SeaMonkey attempted to authenticate against an APOP server,

a remote attacker could potentially acquire certain portions

of a user's authentication credentials. (CVE-2007-1558)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the

addEventListener JavaScript method. A malicious web site

could use this method to access or modify sensitive data

from another web site. (CVE-2007-2870)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed certain web

content. A malicious web page could generate content that

would overlay user interface elements such as the hostname

and security indicators, tricking users into thinking they

are visiting a different site. (CVE-2007-2871)

Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these erratum

packages, which contain SeaMonkey version 1.0.9 that

corrects these issues.
