Problem description
Previous versions of Netscape, from version 3.0 to 4.73 contain a serious overflow flaw due to improper input verification in Netscape's JPEG processing code. The way Netscape processed JPEG comments trusted the length parameter for comment fields. By manipulating this value, it was possible to cause Netscape to read in an excessive amount of data which would then overwrite memory. Data with a malicious design could allow a remote site to execute arbitrary code as the user of Netscape on the client system. It is highly recommended that everyone using Netscape upgrade to this latest version that fixes the flaw.
