Scientific Linux Security Update : seamonkey on SL4.x i386/x86_64
high Nessus Plugin ID 61127
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
SeaMonkey is an open source web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued a fraudulent HTTPS certificate. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that CA as untrusted, except for a select few. The now untrusted certificates that were issued before July 1, 2011 can be manually re-enabled and used again at your own risk in SeaMonkey; however, affected certificates issued after this date cannot be re-enabled or used.
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
