Description Josh Bressers 2009-03-03 16:16:01 UTC
Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the
browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of
these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain
circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these
could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Jesse Ruderman reported a crash in the layout engine which affected Firefox
2 and Firefox 3.

Hello Tru, thanks for letting us know about this issue.  It looks like a bug in our tool which caused the unsigned rpms for this errata to be pushed to the FTP site.  We've confirmed that the rpms (including srpm) pushed to Red Hat Network were signed (there are several layers of checks to ensure this), and so far this looks to have only affected the SeaMonkey errata RHSA-2009:0325 from last night.

We've repushed the signed rpms and I've verified they have replaced the unsigned ones on the live ftp site, so please try again.

We will also look at our tool to ensure that unsigned rpms can not be pushed to the FTP site in the future.
