Debian DSA-2819-1 : iceape End-of-Life Announcement

medium Nessus Plugin ID 71497

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host has a package that is no longer supported.

Description

Security support for Iceape, the Debian-branded version of the SeaMonkey suite needed to be stopped before the end of the regular security maintenance life cycle.

Solution

We recommend to migrate to Iceweasel for the web browser functionality and to Icedove for the e-mail bits. Iceweasel and Icedove are based on the same codebase and will continue to be supported with security updates. Alternatively you can switch to the binaries provided by Mozilla available at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
