Description

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla SeaMonkey, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data or compromise a user's system.

1) An error exists when parsing regular expressions used in Proxy Auto-configuration (PAC). This can be exploited to cause a crash or potentially execute arbitrary code via specially crafted configured PAC files.

2) An error when processing GIF color maps can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted GIF file.

3) An error when downloading files can be exploited to display different file names in the download dialog title bar and dialog body. This can be exploited to obfuscate file names via a right-to-left override character and potentially trick a user into running an executable file.


Solution
Update to version 1.1.19, which fixes vulnerability #3. Do not visit untrusted websites or follow untrusted links.
