Does anyone know where it went? The URL below gives an email address
for Oliver Lineham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but I can't seem to pull up
a Web site for lineham.co.nz.
Oh, wait - here's an article that gives the date when Oliver posted
the Cookie Monster bug to BUGTRAQ:
<http://webserver.cpg.com/ws/4.2/>
OK, here is the original BUGTRAQ post:
<http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/archive.pike?list=1&date=1998-12-22&[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Unfortunately, it doesn't contain much other than "visit the Web site
for more details". :( Anyway, IIRC, it's the same problem described in
the Netscape advisory at the top of this message.
Here's a bit of somewhat belated, but still frenzied, hype as well:
