It IS HUGE NEWS.. a vulnerability in Netscape!
That is news nowadays: finfing a flaw in Netscape. I am amazed, after Netsacpe being out for all these years only a few flaws.

The information that is not mentioned is that in UNIX and Linux even if there is a buffer overflow this code will NOT execute if it is on the stack or the deta segment. And nobody can modify the code segment.... so it is very easy to deal with it. Let alone that even in the case someone can execute malicious user code, only that user's environment can be affected.

On MS windoes the whole underworld breaks loose....
