CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade seamonkey to version 2.35 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition. The mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly restrict timeline operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory read and application crash) via crafted API calls.
