How to fix?

Upgrade seamonkey to version 1.1.19 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The mail component in Mozilla SeaMonkey before 1.1.19 does not properly restrict execution of scriptable plugin content, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via crafted content in an IFRAME element in an HTML e-mail message, as demonstrated by a Flash object that sends arbitrary local files during a reply or forward operation.
