Java Security Hole Makes Netscape Into Web Server

[1]Baldrson and other folks as well writes "Dan Brumleve is
at it again with [2]Brown Orifice. In this episode, our
fearless [3]grey hat opens a security hole in the web's
foundation that makes [4]Napster look positively tame by
comparison. Be careful with this, kids. It turns your
Netscape web browser into a web server that can serve up your
entire file system to any other web browser."
