SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey creates temporary file names for downloaded files. If a local attacker knows the name of a file SeaMonkey is going to download, they can replace the contents of that file with arbitrary contents. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3274 to this issue.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the SeaMonkey string to floating point conversion routines. A web page containing malicious JavaScript could crash SeaMonkey or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-1563 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles text selection. A malicious website may be able to read highlighted text in a different domain (e.g. another website the user is viewing), bypassing the same-origin policy. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3375 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displays a right-to-left override character when downloading a file. In these cases, the name displayed in the title bar differs from the name displayed in the dialog body. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into downloading a file that has a file name or extension that differs from what the user expected. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3376 to this issue.
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 with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3380 to this issue.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by RedHat Linux:

practices are implemented until such time as the product
recommended action is applied. Further restrictions as deemed
necessary based on the customer's security policies
may be required during this interim period.
