Synopsis:	Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date:	2010-12-09
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3767 CVE-2010-3772 CVE-2010-3775
 CVE-2010-3776

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
running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-3767, CVE-2010-3772, CVE-2010-3776)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey loaded Java LiveConnect scripts.
Malicious web content could load a Java LiveConnect script in a way that
would result in the plug-in object having elevated privileges, allowing
it to execute Java code with the privileges of the user running
SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-3775)

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