This allows javascript execution in the 'about:' protocol and can for
example be used to upload the History (about:global) to a webserver,
thus leaking private information.  This problem has been fixed
upstream in Netscape 4.77.  Since we haven't received sourcecode for
these packages they are not part of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
but are packaged up as `.deb' files for a convenient installation.");
