Upgrade seamonkey to version 2.0.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, does not properly restrict read access to object properties in showModalDialog, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via crafted dialogArguments values.
