More information:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Iceape, an internet suite based on Seamonkey:

• CVE-2012-3982

  Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

• CVE-2012-3986

  Icedove does not properly restrict calls to DOMWindowUtils methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted JavaScript code.

• CVE-2012-3990

  A Use-after-free vulnerability in the IME State Manager implementation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to the nsIContent::GetNameSpaceID function.

• CVE-2012-3991

  Icedove does not properly restrict JSAPI access to the GetProperty function, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.

• CVE-2012-4179

  A use-after-free vulnerability in the nsHTMLCSSUtils::CreateCSSPropertyTxn function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

• CVE-2012-4180

  A heap-based buffer overflow in the nsHTMLEditor::IsPrevCharInNodeWhitespace function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

• CVE-2012-4182

  A use-after-free vulnerability in the nsTextEditRules::WillInsert function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

• CVE-2012-4186

  A heap-based buffer overflow in the nsWav-eReader::DecodeAudioData function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

• CVE-2012-4188

  A heap-based buffer overflow in the Convolve3x3 function allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Additionally, this update fixes a regression in the patch for CVE-2012-3959, released in DSA-2554-1.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.11-16.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 10.0.10esr-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 10.0.10esr-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your iceape packages.
