high Nessus Plugin ID 42307

Synopsis

A web browser on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 2.0. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

- Provided the browser is configured to use Proxy Auto-configuration it may be possible for an attacker to crash the browser or execute arbitrary code.
(MFSA 2009-55)

- Mozilla's GIF image parser is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow. (MFSA 2009-56)

- If a file contains right-to-left override character (RTL) in the filename it may be possible for an attacker to obfuscate the filename and extension of the file being downloaded. (MFSA 2009-62)

Solution

Upgrade to SeaMonkey 2.0 or later.
