The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 2.8.0.  Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :
  - Multiple memory corruption issues. By tricking a user     into visiting a specially crafted page, these issues may     allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the     context of the affected application. (CVE-2012-0454,     CVE-2012-0457, CVE-2012-0459, CVE-2012-0461,     CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0463, CVE-2012-0464)

  - An HTTP Header security bypass vulnerability that can be     leveraged by attackers to bypass certain security     restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.     (CVE-2012-0451).

  - A security bypass vulnerability that can be exploited by     an attacker if the victim can be tricked into setting a     new home page by dragging a specially crafted link to     the 'home' button URL, which will set the user's home     page to a 'javascript:' URL. (CVE-2012-0458) 

  - An information disclosure vulnerability due to an out of     bounds read in SVG filters. (CVE-2012-0456)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability that can be     triggered by dragging and dropping 'javascript:' links     onto a frame. (CVE-2012-0455)

  - 'window.fullScreen' is writeable by untrusted content,     allowing attackers to perform UI spoofing attacks.     (CVE-2012-0460)

Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox and thunderbird :

Security researchers Blair Strang and Scott Bell of Security Assessment found that when a parent window spawns and closes a child window that uses the file open dialog, a crash can be induced in shlwapi.dll on 32-bit Windows 7 systems. This crash may be potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-0454).

Firefox prevents the dropping of javascript: links onto a frame to prevent malicious sites from tricking users into performing a cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on themselves. Security researcher Soroush Dalili reported a way to bypass this protection (CVE-2012-0455).

Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two issues with Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address Sanitizer tool. The first issue, critically rated, is a use-after-free in SVG animation that could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. The second issue is rated moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG Filters. This could potentially incorporate data from the user's memory, making it accessible to the page content (CVE-2012-0457, CVE-2012-0456).

Security Researcher Mike Brooks of Sitewatch reported that if multiple Content Security Policy (CSP) headers are present on a page, they have an additive effect page policy. Using carriage return line feed (CRLF) injection, a new CSP rule can be introduced which allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) on sites with a separate header injection vulnerability (CVE-2012-0451).

Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that an attacker able to convince a potential victim to set a new home page by dragging a link to the home button can set that user's home page to a javascript: URL.
Once this is done the attacker's page can cause repeated crashes of the browser, eventually getting the script URL loaded in the privileged about:sessionrestore context (CVE-2012-0458).

Mozilla community member Daniel Glazman of Disruptive Innovations reported a crash when accessing a keyframe's cssText after dynamic modification. This crash may be potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-0459).

Mozilla developer Matt Brubeck reported that window.fullScreen is writeable by untrusted content now that the DOM fullscreen API is enabled. Because window.fullScreen does not include mozRequestFullscreen's security protections, it could be used for UI spoofing. This code change makes window.fullScreen read only by untrusted content, forcing the use of the DOM fullscreen API in normal usage (CVE-2012-0460).

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products.
Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0464).

The mozilla firefox and thunderbird packages has been upgraded to the latest respective versions which is unaffected by these security flaws.

Additionally the NSS and NSPR packages has been upgraded to the latest versions. The OpenJDK java plugin (icedtea-web) has been upgraded to the 1.1.5 version whish bas better support for firefox 10.x+.

Update :

Updated packages for 2010.2 is being provided, despite the Mandriva products lifetime policy dictates otherwise.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - CRLF injection vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 4.x     through 10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3,     Thunderbird 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x     before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 allows remote     web servers to bypass intended Content Security Policy     (CSP) restrictions and possibly conduct cross-site     scripting (XSS) attacks via crafted HTTP headers.
    (CVE-2012-0451)

  - Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.28 and 4.x through 10.0,     Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, Thunderbird before     3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before     10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 do not properly     restrict drag-and-drop operations on javascript: URLs,     which allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct     cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web     page, related to a 'DragAndDropJacking' issue.
    (CVE-2012-0455)

  - The SVG Filters implementation in Mozilla Firefox before     3.6.28 and 4.x through 10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before     10.0.3, Thunderbird before 3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0,     Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before     2.8 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive     information from process memory via vectors that trigger     an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2012-0456)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the     nsSMILTimeValueSpec::ConvertBetweenTimeContainer     function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.28 and 4.x     through 10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3,     Thunderbird before 3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0,     Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before     2.8 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via an SVG animation. (CVE-2012-0457)

  - Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.28 and 4.x through 10.0,     Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, Thunderbird before     3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before     10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 do not properly     restrict setting the home page through the dragging of a     URL to the home button, which allows user-assisted     remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code     with chrome privileges via a javascript: URL that is     later interpreted in the about:sessionrestore context.
    (CVE-2012-0458)

  - The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in     Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x     before 10.0.3, Thunderbird 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird     ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code     via dynamic modification of a keyframe followed by     access to the cssText of the keyframe. (CVE-2012-0459)

  - Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x     before 10.0.3, Thunderbird 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird     ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 do not     properly restrict write access to the window.fullScreen     object, which allows remote attackers to spoof the user     interface via a crafted web page. (CVE-2012-0460)

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser     engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.28 and 4.x through     10.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, Thunderbird before     3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before     10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 allow remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code     via unknown vectors. (CVE-2012-0461)

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser     engine in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 10.0, Firefox ESR     10.x before 10.0.3, Thunderbird 5.0 through 10.0,     Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before     2.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
    (CVE-2012-0462)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the browser engine in     Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.28 and 4.x through 10.0,     Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.3, Thunderbird before     3.1.20 and 5.0 through 10.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before     10.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.8 allows remote attackers     to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an empty     argument to the array.join function in conjunction with     the triggering of garbage collection. (CVE-2012-0464)

Several vulnerabilities have been found in the Iceape internet suite, an unbranded version of SeaMonkey :

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0464)

Two flaws were found in the way Firefox parsed certain Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image files. A web page containing a malicious SVG image file could cause an information leak, or cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0456, CVE-2012-0457)

A flaw could allow a malicious site to bypass intended restrictions, possibly leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if a user were tricked into dropping a 'javascript:' link onto a frame.
(CVE-2012-0455)

It was found that the home page could be set to a 'javascript:' link.
If a user were tricked into setting such a home page by dragging a link to the home button, it could cause Firefox to repeatedly crash, eventually leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0458)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox parsed certain web content containing 'cssText'. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0459)

It was found that by using the DOM fullscreen API, untrusted content could bypass the mozRequestFullscreen security protections. A web page containing malicious web content could exploit this API flaw to cause user interface spoofing. (CVE-2012-0460)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled pages with multiple Content Security Policy (CSP) headers. This could lead to a cross-site scripting attack if used in conjunction with a website that has a header injection flaw. (CVE-2012-0451)

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security advisories for Firefox 10.0.3 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories in the References section of this erratum.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - When using the Traditional Chinese locale (zh-TW), a     segmentation fault sometimes occurred when closing     Firefox.

  - Inputting any text in the Web Console (Tools -> Web     Developer -> Web Console) caused Firefox to crash.

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 10.0.3 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed content.
Malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0464)

Two flaws were found in the way Thunderbird parsed certain Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image files. An HTML mail message containing a malicious SVG image file could cause an information leak, or cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0456, CVE-2012-0457)

A flaw could allow malicious content to bypass intended restrictions, possibly leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if a user were tricked into dropping a 'javascript:' link onto a frame.
(CVE-2012-0455)

It was found that the home page could be set to a 'javascript:' link.
If a user were tricked into setting such a home page by dragging a link to the home button, it could cause Firefox to repeatedly crash, eventually leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox. A similar flaw was found and fixed in Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0458)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird parsed certain, remote content containing 'cssText'. Malicious, remote content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-0459)

It was found that by using the DOM fullscreen API, untrusted content could bypass the mozRequestFullscreen security protections. Malicious content could exploit this API flaw to cause user interface spoofing.
(CVE-2012-0460)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handled content with multiple Content Security Policy (CSP) headers. This could lead to a cross-site scripting attack if used in conjunction with a website that has a header injection flaw. (CVE-2012-0451)

Note: All issues except CVE-2012-0456 and CVE-2012-0457 cannot be exploited by a specially crafted HTML mail message as JavaScript is disabled by default for mail messages. It could be exploited another way in Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the full remote content of an RSS feed.

All Thunderbird users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains Thunderbird version 10.0.3 ESR, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Thunderbird must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
