8-9-00- NETSCAPE FLAW REVEALS YOUR DATA A flaw affecting most versions of Netscape allows malicious Web sites to peek at victims' hard drives. Dubbed "Brown Orifice," alluding to the infamous "Back Orifice" computer vandal tool, the Netscape flaw lies in four Java components. These Java components can be tricked into turning a standard PC into a Web server. The new "Web server" can then be tricked into displaying the contents of its hard drive. The flaw is only activated when a victim goes to a malicious URL. But the flaw does not allow anyone else to manipulate or destroy the victim's hard drive. The flaw does not affect Internet Explorer or the Mozilla browser. In the meanwhile, Netscape users can protect themselves by disabling Java

7-19-00- OUTLOOK BUG EXPOSES YOUR PC A South American security research team has discovered a flaw in the Microsoft Outlook email program that allows vandals to take control of computers simply by sending a single email. Until now, email recipients had to open an attachment or at least view a specially formed message to be attacked. Now a machine is targeted as soon as it begins to download the message, triggering the execution of code contained in the header. Microsoft acknowledges the flaw and admits that the vulnerability can affect even a user who installs Outlook Security Update and uses the Security Zones feature. The only defense against the bug is to install the Microsoft patch, soon to be available on the Microsoft.com security site. Users with the SP 1 of OutLook 5.01, or have IE 5.5 are not vulnerable. Corporate versions of Outlook are also not affected.
