How to fix?

Upgrade seamonkey to version 2.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Mozilla Firefox before 7.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.4 do not properly restrict availability of motion data events, which makes it easier for remote attackers to read keystrokes by leveraging JavaScript code running in a background tab.
