high Nessus Plugin ID 57353

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 2.6.0. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

- An out-of-bounds memory access error exists in the 'SVG' implementation and can be triggered when 'SVG' elements are removed during a 'DOMAttrModified' event handler. (CVE-2011-3658)

- Various memory safety errors exist that can lead to memory corruption and possible code execution.
(CVE-2011-3660)

- An error exists in the 'YARR' regular expression library that can cause application crashes when handling certain JavaScript statements. (CVE-2011-3661)

- It is possible to detect keystrokes using 'SVG' animation 'accesskey' events even when JavaScript is disabled. (CVE-2011-3663)

- It is possible to crash the application when 'OGG' 'video' elements are scaled to extreme sizes.
(CVE-2011-3665)

- A use-after-free error exists related to the function 'nsHTMLSelectElement' that can allow arbitrary code execution during operations such as removal of a parent node of an element. (CVE-2011-3671)

Solution

Upgrade to SeaMonkey 2.6.0 or later.
