Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceape internet suite, an unbranded version of the SeaMonkey Internet Suite.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2007-3089 Ronen Zilberman and Michal Zalewski discovered that a timing race allows the injection of content into about:blank frames.

The Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates. You're strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable as soon as possible.

Solution

Upgrade the iceape packages.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.10~pre070720-0etch1. A build for the mips architecture is not yet available, it will be provided later.
