Netscape 6.2.3 Coming Soon

Hello Fellow Netscapers!

There is a 6.2.3 page added to the Netscape 6 ftp download site:

ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/

This is no doubt being issued to fix the "minor file access vulnerability ".
See this article: http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/25079.html

A recent advisory from GreyMagic Software demonstrates a minor file access vulnerability in Netscape and Mozilla for Windows, very much like the recent one affecting MS Internet Exploder.

No doubt it will be patched soon and without great difficulty. The potential for malicious exploitation is modest, and the installed user base, being a fraction of IE's, makes this item marginally newsworthy.
