Synopsis:	Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date:	2009-02-04
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0352 CVE-2009-0353 CVE-2009-0355
 CVE-2009-0357

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-2009-0352, CVE-2009-0353)

A flaw was found in the way malformed content was processed. A website
containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a
SeaMonkey user into uploading a local file. (CVE-2009-0355)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey treated HTTPOnly cookies. An
attacker able to execute arbitrary JavaScript on a target site using
HTTPOnly cookies may be able to use this flaw to steal the cookie.
(CVE-2009-0357)

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