Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Iceape, the Debian Internet suite based on Mozilla Seamonkey: CVE-2012-5829Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsWindow::OnExposeEvent function could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2012-5842Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2012-4207The HZ-GB-2312 character-set implementation does not properly handle a ~ (tilde) character in proximity to a chunk delimiter, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document. CVE-2012-4201The evalInSandbox implementation uses an incorrect context during the handling of JavaScript code that sets the location.href property, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or read arbitrary files by leveraging a sandboxed add-on. CVE-2012-4216Use-after-free vulnerability in the gfxFont::GetFontEntry function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.11-17. For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2.7.11-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.7.11-1. We recommend that you upgrade your iceape packages.

The Iceape Internet Suite is an unbranded Seamonkey Internet Suite suitable for free distribution. The Seamonkey Internet Suite is a set of Internet oriented applications. It is the continuity of the Mozilla Suite after it has been abandoned in favor of Firefox and Thunderbird.
