Synopsis:	Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date:	2008-12-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-5500 CVE-2008-5501 CVE-2008-5502
 CVE-2008-5503 CVE-2008-5504 CVE-2008-5506

 CVE-2008-5512 CVE-2008-5513

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 as the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2008-5500, CVE-2008-5501, CVE-2008-5502, CVE-2008-5504, CVE-2008-5511,
CVE-2008-5512, CVE-2008-5513)

Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. A
website containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a
SeaMonkey user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-5503,
CVE-2008-5506, CVE-2008-5507)

A flaw was found in the way malformed URLs were processed by SeaMonkey.
This flaw could prevent various URL sanitization mechanisms from properly
parsing a malicious URL. (CVE-2008-5508)

Note: after the errata packages are installed, SeaMonkey must be restarted
for the update to take effect.
