The Web Publishing feature in Netscape Enterprise Server 4.x and earlier allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories under the web server root via the INDEX command.

The caching module in Netscape Fasttrack Server 4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by requesting a large number of non-existent URLs.

Netscape Enterprise 3.5.1 and FastTrack 3.01 servers allow a remote attacker to view source code to scripts by appending a %20 to the script's URL.

Insecure file permissions for Netscape FastTrack Server 2.x, Enterprise Server 2.0, and Proxy Server 2.5 in SCO UnixWare 7.0.x and 2.1.3 allow an attacker to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in the HTML parser for Netscape 4.75 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long password value in a form field.

The POP3 server in Netscape Messaging Server 4.15p1 generates different error messages for incorrect user names versus incorrect passwords, which allows remote attackers to determine valid users on the system and harvest email addresses for spam abuse.

Buffer overflow in IMAP server in Netscape Messaging Server 4.15 Patch 2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long LIST command.

The GUI installation for iCal 2.1 Patch 2 disables access control for the X server using an "xhost +" command, which allows remote attackers to monitor X Windows events and gain privileges.

csstart program in iCal 2.1 Patch 2 searches for the cshttpd program in the current working directory, which allows local users to gain root privileges by creating a Trojan Horse cshttpd program in a directory and calling csstart from that directory.

Netscape (iPlanet) Certificate Management System 4.2 and Directory Server 4.12 stores the administrative password in plaintext, which could allow local and possibly remote attackers to gain administrative privileges on the server.

csstart program in iCal 2.1 Patch 2 uses relative pathnames to install the libsocket and libnsl libraries, which could allow the icsuser account to gain root privileges by creating a Trojan Horse library in the current or parent directory.

iCal 2.1 Patch 2 installs many files with world-writeable permissions, which allows local users to modify the iCal configuration and execute arbitrary commands by replacing the iplncal.sh program with a Trojan horse.

Directory traversal vulnerability in iPlanet Certificate Management System 4.2 and Directory Server 4.12 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack in the Agent, End Entity, or Administrator services.

Netscape Communicator and Navigator 4.04 through 4.74 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using a Java applet to open a connection to a URL using the "file", "http", "https", and "ftp" protocols, as demonstrated by Brown Orifice.

Netscape Communicator does not properly prevent a ServerSocket object from being created by untrusted entities, which allows remote attackers to create a server on the victim's system via a malicious applet, as demonstrated by Brown Orifice.

Netscape Communicator 4.73 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a JPEG image containing a comment with an illegal field length of 1.

Netscape Enterprise Server in NetWare 5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a malformed URL.

Netscape Professional Services FTP Server 1.3.6 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

Netscape 4.73 and earlier does not properly warn users about a potentially invalid certificate if the user has previously accepted the certificate for a different web site, which could allow remote attackers to spoof a legitimate web site by compromising that site's DNS information.

Netscape Communicator before version 4.73 and Navigator 4.07 do not properly validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to steal information by redirecting traffic from a legitimate web server to their own malicious server, aka the "Acros-Suencksen SSL" vulnerability.

Netscape 4.73 and earlier follows symlinks when it imports a new certificate, which allows local users to overwrite files of the user importing the certificate.

A remote attacker can read information from a Netscape user's cache via JavaScript.

Netscape Enterprise Server with Directory Indexing enabled allows remote attackers to list server directories via web publishing tags such as ?wp-ver-info and ?wp-cs-dump.

Netscape Enterprise Server with Web Publishing enabled allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories via a GET request for the /publisher directory, which provides a Java applet that allows the attacker to browse the directories.

Netscape Navigator uses weak encryption for storing a user's Netscape mail password.

Netscape Mail Notification (nsnotify) utility in Netscape Communicator uses IMAP without SSL, even if the user has set a preference for Communicator to use an SSL connection, allowing a remote attacker to sniff usernames and passwords in plaintext.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Enterprise Server and FastTrask Server allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a long HTTP GET request.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Communicator before 4.7 via a dynamic font whose length field is less than the size of the font.

Netscape 4.7 records user passwords in the preferences.js file during an IMAP or POP session, even if the user has not enabled "remember passwords."

Groupwise web server GWWEB.EXE allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files with .htm extensions via a .. (dot dot) attack using the HELP parameter.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Enterprise Server and Netscape FastTrack Server allows remote attackers to gain privileges via the HTTP Basic Authentication procedure.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.7 for Windows 95 and Windows 98 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long argument after the ? character in a URL that references an .asp, .cgi, .html, or .pl file.

By default, Internet Explorer 5.0 and other versions enables the "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" option, which allows frame spoofing.

Netscape Messaging Server 3.54, 3.55, and 3.6 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of long RCPT TO commands.

Netscape Communicator 4.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long certificate key.

Netscape Communicator 4.04 through 4.7 (and possibly other versions) in various UNIX operating systems converts the 0x8b character to a "<" sign, and the 0x9b character to a ">" sign, which could allow remote attackers to attack other clients via cross-site scripting (CSS) in CGI programs that do not filter these characters.

Buffer overflow in Accept command in Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 with the SSL Handshake Patch.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Communicator via EMBED tags in the pluginspage option.

Default configuration of the search engine in Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to read the source of JHTML files by specifying a search command using the HTML-tocrec-demo1.pat pattern file.
