TITLE:
Mozilla SeaMonkey Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37173
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37173/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla SeaMonkey, which
can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data or
compromise a user's system.
1) An error exists when parsing regular expressions used in Proxy
Auto-configuration (PAC). This can be exploited to cause a crash or
potentially execute arbitrary code via specially crafted configured
PAC files.
2) An error when processing GIF color maps can be exploited to cause
a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code
via a specially crafted GIF file.
3) An error when downloading files can be exploited to display
different file names in the download dialog title bar and dialog
body. This can be exploited to obfuscate file names via a
right-to-left override character and potentially trick a user into
running an executable file.
SOLUTION:
Upgrade to version 2.0.
Do not visit untrusted websites or follow untrusted links.
