[Netscape Security] SECURITY UPDATE THE SINGAPORE PRIVACY BUG July 25, 1997 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Singapore Privacy Bug that affects Netscape Communicator has been identified and fixed. The fix is being tested and will be included in the next release of Netscape Communicator, which is expected to be available in the next few weeks. Netscape Navigator 2.x and 3.x are unaffected by this bug. The Singapore Privacy Bug allows a hacker to observe a user's activity on the Web. It allows a hacker web site to exploit LiveConnect to observe which URLs a user visits, the data a user enters into HTML forms (including passwords), and data placed into a user's cookie file. The bug does not allow a malicious web site operator to see, erase, or steal data from a user's hard disk. LiveConnect is a technology that enables communication between JavaScript and Java applets in a page. Netscape will keep customers informed through updates on the Security Solutions page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Navigation bar] Corporate Sales: 415/937-2555; Personal Sales: 415/937-3777; Government Sales: 415/937-3678 If you have any questions, please visit Customer Service, or contact your nearest sales office.
