SeaMonkey is de voortzetting van de Mozilla Suite nadat de Mozilla Foundation aankondigde de verdere ontwikkeling hiervan te staken. SeaMonkey beschikt over een webverkenner en een e-mailprogramma die gebruik maken van Gecko 1.8.1. Daarnaast is er ook een nieuwsgroep- en irc-client aanwezig en wordt het geheel volmaakt met een programma om html-bestanden te bewerken. De leden van de SeaMonkey Council hebben een nieuwe security release uitgebracht met 1.1.4 als het versienummer, en deze voorzien van de volgende aankondiging:
SeaMonkey 1.1.4 Security Release
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:[break]Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is in de volgende smaken binnen te halen:
- 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
