Certain versions of the Netscape FastTrack and Enterprise servers for both Unix and NT contain a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is present in both the Application and Administration servers shipped with the respective packages.The problem lies in the HTTP Basic Authentication procedure for both servers has a buffer overflow condition when a long username or password (over 508 characters) are provided.
