| 15 | Synopsis |
| 16 | ======== |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the SeaMonkey project. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Background |
| 21 | ========== |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver |
| 24 | production-quality releases of code derived from the application |
| 25 | formerly known as 'Mozilla Application Suite'. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Affected packages |
| 28 | ================= |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 31 | Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 32 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 | 1 www-client/seamonkey < 1.0.6 >= 1.0.6 |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Description |
| 36 | =========== |
| 37 | |
| 38 | The SeaMonkey project is vulnerable to arbitrary JavaScript bytecode |
| 39 | execution and arbitrary code execution. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Impact |
| 42 | ====== |
| 43 | |
| 44 | An attacker could entice a user to load malicious JavaScript or a |
| 45 | malicious web page with a SeaMonkey application and execute arbitrary |
| 46 | code with the rights of the user running those products. It is |
| 47 | important to note that in the SeaMonkey email client, JavaScript is |
| 48 | disabled by default. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Workaround |
| 51 | ========== |
| 52 | |
| 53 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Resolution |
| 56 | ========== |
| 57 | |
| 58 | All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 59 | |
| 60 | # emerge --sync |
| 61 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/seamonkey-1.0.6" |
