CVE-2009-1571 Mozilla incorrectly frees used memory (MFSA 2010-03)

result in SeaMonkey executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2009-1571)

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 with the privileges of the user

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