The SeaMonkey team has been made aware of some security problems found in its all-in-one internet suite software. As a result, SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is being released today, fixing those security vulnerabilities. With this release, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its siblings Firefox and Thunderbird, which were issuing updates for the same problems recently as well.

The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including the SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which is not updated for those known security issues any more, to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or even Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 1.1.4 version. All those older software packages suffer from a large and steadily increasing number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security fixes.

Fixed in SeaMonkey 1.1.4:

• MFSA 2007-27 Unescaped URIs passed to external programs
• MFSA 2007-26 Privilege escalation through chrome-loaded about:blank windows
• MFSA 2007-23 Remote code execution by launching SeaMonkey from Internet Explorer
