FYI...

Netscape has released version 4.51 of Communicator. It seems to fix the
window spoofing bug ( http://www.geek-girl.com/bugtraq/1999_1/0747.html ),
along with the javascript bugs that can be used to read local files from
your hard drive. I verifed this by trying the exploits at
http://www.whitehats.com/guninski/netscape.html

From their release notes page (
http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.5/relnotes/windows-4.51.html )
     "Fixes to improve security; in particular, the frame-spoofing
vulnerability problem (
http://home.netscape.com/products/security/resources/bugs/framespoofing.htm
l )has been fixed"

You can download version 4.51 at:
