Bugs:	#718738, #718746
ID:	202012-02

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in SeaMonkey, the worst of which could result in the arbitrary execution of code.

Background

The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as “Mozilla Application Suite”.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-client/seamonkey-bin	<= 2.49.1_rc2		All supported architectures
www-client/seamonkey	< 2.53.5.1	>= 2.53.5	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SeaMonkey. Please review referenced release notes for more details.

Impact

Please review the referenced release notes for details.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/seamonkey-2.53.5.1"

Gentoo has discontinued support for the SeaMonkey binary package. We recommend that users unmerge the SeaMonkey binary package:

# emerge --unmerge “www-client/seamonkey-bin”

NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining the SeaMonkey binary package have discontinued support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update it at a later date. The alternative is using the standard SeaMonkey package.
