7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

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.

Affected configurations

• netscape communicator (<= 4.7) • netscape communicator 4.04 • netscape communicator 4.51
