Synopsis:	Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date:	2009-03-04
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0040 CVE-2009-0772 CVE-2009-0774
 CVE-2009-0775 CVE-2009-0776

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-2009-0040, CVE-2009-0772, CVE-2009-0774, CVE-2009-0775)

A flaw was 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-2009-0776)

After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
