Interesting article at: http://www.sddt.com/files/library/98/06/25/tbc.html Programmers at San Diego Source, the online news service of the San Diego Daily Transcript, have discovered a security hole affecting Web server software from both Netscape Communications and software and book publisher O'Reilly & Associates. The bug, allowing for the display of sensitive programming code being served by Windows NT and Windows 95 versions of Netscape Enterprise and O'Reilly & Associates' WebSite Professional, can be used by hackers to glean information considered by programmers to be invisible. The bug could allow for easy display of private documents featuring database passwords, user names and even programming codes that make events occur but are not meant for public perusal. So far the flaw has been shown to affect only machines running under the Windows operating system, but it is not clear if these are the only two Web server programs affected. ____________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Join The Web Consultants Association : Register on our web site Now Web Consultants Web Site : http://just4u.com/webconsultants If you lose the instructions All subscription/unsubscribing can be done directly from our website for all our lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
