SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup
client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

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-2008-0016, CVE-2008-4058, CVE-2008-4059, CVE-2008-4060, CVE-2008-4061,
CVE-2008-4062)

Several flaws were found in the way malformed web content was displayed. A
web page containing specially crafted content could potentially trick a
SeaMonkey user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-3835,
CVE-2008-4067, CVE-2008-4068, CVE-2008-4069)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles mouse click events. A web page
containing specially crafted JavaScript code could move the content window
while a mouse-button was pressed, causing any item under the pointer to be
dragged. This could, potentially, cause the user to perform an unsafe
drag-and-drop action. (CVE-2008-3837)

A flaw was found in SeaMonkey that caused certain characters to be stripped
from JavaScript code. This flaw could allow malicious JavaScript to bypass
or evade script filters. (CVE-2008-4065, CVE-2008-4066)

All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.
