This just in: Netscape Vulnerability

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I had also verified this. Also, from other sources, Netscape is working on 
a fix (version 4.75) which should be available shortly.  The prevention is 
to turn off Java (edit/preferences/advanced).  This problem does not affect 
javascript. Only Java.
