3. Description:

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

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed certain web content. A malicious web site could cause SeaMonkey to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-2785)

All seamonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

Title: Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.16 and 3.x before 3.0.1, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.16, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.11 use an incorrect integer data type as a CSS object reference counter in the CSSValue array (aka nsCSSValue:Array) data structure, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of references to a common CSS object, leading to a counter overflow and a free of in-use memory, aka ZDI-CAN-349.
