Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2008-0016, CVE-2008-4058, CVE-2008-4059, CVE-2008-4060, CVE-2008-4061, CVE-2008-4062)

Several flaws were found in the way malformed web content was displayed. A web page containing specially crafted content could potentially trick a SeaMonkey user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-3835, CVE-2008-4067, CVE-2008-4068, CVE-2008-4069)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles mouse click events. A web page containing specially crafted JavaScript code could move the content window while a mouse-button was pressed, causing any item under the pointer to be dragged. This could, potentially, cause the user to perform an unsafe drag-and-drop action. (CVE-2008-3837)

A flaw was found in SeaMonkey that caused certain characters to be stripped from JavaScript code. This flaw could allow malicious JavaScript to bypass or evade script filters. (CVE-2008-4065, CVE-2008-4066)

The installed version of SeaMonkey is affected by various security issues :

  - Using a specially crafted UTF-8 URL in a hyperlink, an     attacker might be able to exploit a stack buffer     overflow in the Mozilla URL parsing routes to execute     arbitrary code. (MFSA 2008-37)

  - It is possible to bypass the same-origin check in     'nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect()'. (MFSA 2008-38)

  - An attacker can cause the content window to move while     the mouse is being clicked, causing an item to be     dragged rather than clicked-on. (MFSA 2008-40)

  - Privilege escalation is possible via 'XPCnativeWrapper'     pollution. (MFSA 2008-41)

  - There are several stability bugs in the browser engine     that may lead to crashes with evidence of memory     corruption. (MFSA 2008-42)

  - Certain BOM characters and low surrogate characters,     if HTML-escaped, are stripped from JavaScript code     before it is executed, which could allow for cross-     site scripting attacks. (MFSA 2008-43)

  - The 'resource:' protocol allows directory traversal     on Linux when using URL-encoded slashes, and it can     by used to bypass restrictions on local HTML files.
    (MFSA 2008-44)

  - A bug in the XBM decoder allows random small chunks of     uninitialized memory to be read. (MFSA 2008-45)

  - There is a heap-based buffer overflow that can be     triggered when canceling a newsgroup message.
    (MFSA 2008-46)
