Descriptions

Netscape Communicator 4.x allows attackers to use a link to steal a user's preferences, including potentially sensitive information such as URL history, e-mail address, and possibly the e-mail password, by redefining the user_pref() function and accessing the prefs.js file, which is stored in a directory with a predictable name.

Netscape Communicator 4.x permite a atacantes usar un enlace para robar las preferencias de un usuario, incluyendo información potencialmente sensible como historia de URLs, direcciones de correo electrónico, y posiblemente sus contraseñas, mediante la redefinición de la función user_pref() y accediendo al fichero prefs.js, que está almacenado en un directorio con un nombre predecible.
