3. Description:
SeaMonkey is an open source web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC
chat client, and HTML editor.
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled frame objects with certain
names. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a plug-in to grant its
content access to another site or the local file system, violating the
same-origin policy. (CVE-2011-2999)
An integer underflow flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled large
JavaScript regular expressions. A web page containing malicious JavaScript
could cause SeaMonkey to access already freed memory, causing SeaMonkey to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2011-2998)
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct
these issues. After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for
the changes to take effect.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
