The Mozilla SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver
production-quality releases of code derived from the application
formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite".

<description>
<p>
The following vulnerabilities have been reported:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URL's could be made to
reference remote files.</li>
<li>Developers in the Mozilla community
looked for and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
Mozilla clients, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code by
a remote attacker.</li>
<li>"shutdown" reports that cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks could be performed using the construct
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a function that
appeared to belong to the window in question even after it had been
navigated to the target site.</li>
<li>"shutdown" reports that scripts
granting the UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into the
equivalent of the far more powerful UniversalXPConnect since they are
allowed to "read" into a privileged context.</li>
<li>"moz_bug_r_a4"
reports that A malicious Proxy AutoConfig (PAC) server could serve a
PAC script that can execute code with elevated privileges by setting
the required FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a
privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox.</li>
<li>"moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that Named JavaScript functions have a
parent object created using the standard Object() constructor
(ECMA-specified behavior) and that this constructor can be redefined by
script (also ECMA-specified behavior).</li>
<li>Igor Bukanov and
shutdown found additional places where an untimely garbage collection
could delete a temporary object that was in active use.</li>
<li>Georgi
Guninski found potential integer overflow issues with long strings in
the toSource() methods of the Object, Array and String objects as well
as string function arguments.</li>
<li>H. D. Moore reported a testcase
that was able to trigger a race condition where JavaScript garbage
collection deleted a temporary variable still being used in the
creation of a new Function object.</li>
<li>A malicious page can hijack
native DOM methods on a document object in another domain, which will
run the attacker's script when called by the victim page.</li>
<li>Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability which is caused due
to an memory corruption error within the handling of simultaneously
happening XPCOM events. This leads to use of a deleted timer
object.</li>
<li>An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero
Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java would reference
properties of the window.navigator object as it started up.</li>
<li>Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a JavaScript
reference to a frame or window was not properly cleared when the
referenced content went away.</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages
containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the
installation of malware on the user's computer.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/seamonkey-1.0.3"</code>
</resolution>
