Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content.

(CVE-2010-1200)A flaw was found in the way browser plug-ins interact. It was possible for a plug-in to reference the freed memory from a different plug-in, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-1198)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-1199)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey processed mail attachments. A specially crafted mail message could cause SeaMonkey to crash.
(CVE-2010-0163)
