Jonik writes: "A security vulnerability has been found that affects Mozilla 
1.7.3 and earlier versions. Apparently there is a flaw in the NNTP handling 
code which may cause heap overflow and allow remote attacker to execute 
arbitrary code." All the latest Mozilla versions are immune but there also 
appears to be some dispute as to whether this vulnerability was ever 
practically exploitable in the first place.
