Netscape has admitted that versions of its Navigator browser could expose users to malicious websites.
According to a security note published on Netscape's website, Navigator Versions 6 through to 6.2 contain a security flaw that could allow a malicious website to read the cookies that another site has stored on a user's computer.
Microsoft Corp. chief software architect Bill Gates sent a company-wide memo earlier this week calling on developers to do a better job of writing safe, secure software. The memo comes just weeks after an embarrassing flaw was found in the company’s flagship product, Windows XP.
