Hi,

A few weeks ago, I've posted in this mailing-list an advisory about
issues in Netscape Communicator. Since a fixed release (4.05) is now
available to users, I think I can publish the exploits themselves.

If you received this mail in Communicator 4.04 or previous (NN2.x and
3.x are not vulnerable), simply click the links in the attached HTML
document for a demonstration of the bugs.
