Update Information:

Updated seamonkey packages that fix several security issues are now available
for Fedora 8.    An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Seamonkey
displayed certain web content. A malicious web site could cause Seamonkey to
crash, or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
Seamonkey. (CVE-2008-2785)    Updated packages update Seamonkey to upstream
version 1.1.11 to address this flaw:  http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-
