The SeaMonkey Project Upgrades SeaMonkey to Version 1.1.14

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.14 closes  several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions.

According to their official website, seven vulnerabilities were crushed:  2 low, 2 critical, 1 high and 2 moderate vulnerabilities.    Let’s take a look:

• XSS and JavaScript privilege escalation.
• Escaped null characters ignored by CSS parser.
• Errors parsing URLs with leading whitespace and control characters.
• Cross-domain data theft via script redirect error message.
• XMLHttpRequest 302 response disclosure.
• Information stealing via loadBindingDocument.
• Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.5/1.8.1.19).

SeaMonkey 1.1.14 is available for free download from the open source project’s website at www.seamonkey-project.org.

Normally I don’t use SeaMonkey because it’s too heavy.  I prefer to use Flock social browser or Firefox.  However, just because I’m curious to see what other browser do, I like to keep this browser updated and on the backburner.  Good Day.

Yesterday, the SeaMonkey Project released a new version of its all-in-one Internet Suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.12 crushes several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its sibling Firefox 2, which is issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.

The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including the SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which no longer receives security updates, to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 1.1.12 version.

All these older software packages suffer from a large and steadily increasing number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. SeaMonkey 1.1.12 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security.
