Synopsis:	Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date:	2008-02-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-0412 CVE-2008-0413 CVE-2008-0415
 CVE-2008-0417 CVE-2008-0418 CVE-2008-0419
 CVE-2008-0591 CVE-2008-0592 CVE-2008-0593

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-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey displayed malformed web
content. A webpage containing specially-crafted content could trick a user
into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey stored password data. If a user
saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible
to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly
accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles certain chrome URLs. If a
user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website
to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default
installation of SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-0418)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey saves certain text files. If a
website offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain",
SeaMonkey will not show future "text/plain" content to the user in the
browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content.
