SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC
chat client, and HTML editor.

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2008-0017, CVE-2008-5013, CVE-2008-5014, CVE-2008-5016,
CVE-2008-5017, CVE-2008-5018, CVE-2008-5019, CVE-2008-5021)

Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. A web
site containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a
SeaMonkey user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-5012,
CVE-2008-5022, CVE-2008-5023, CVE-2008-5024)

All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.
