Scientific Linux Security Update : seamonkey on SL3.x, SL4.x i386/x86_64
high Nessus Plugin ID 60879
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
A race condition flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled Document Object Model (DOM) element properties. 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-2010-3765)
After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes to take effect
Note1: The Upstream Vendor has released this update. We feel that we should provide it to those few SL3 machines that are left. Note2: The Upstream Vendor ends support for their release in 3 days. So we expect this to be the last update for SL3.
Solution
