SeaMonkey < 1.1.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 25842

Synopsis

A web browser on the remote host is prone to multiple flaws.

Description

The installed version of SeaMonkey allows unescaped URIs to be passed to external programs, which could lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges, and could also allow privilege escalation attacks against addons that create 'about:blank' windows and populate them in certain ways.

Solution

Upgrade to SeaMonkey 1.1.4 or later.
