Yahoo Fixes Two Flaws In Mail System

edited August 2004 in Science & Tech
Yahoo fixed two flaws in its free mail system that could have allowed a malicious user to read a victim's browser cookies and change the appearance of some pages, Yahoo said Thursday.
A representative of the company said the flaws were fixed last month by making changes on the company's Yahoo Mail servers. "We were alerted of it at the end of May, early June," spokeswoman Mary Osako said. "There ended up being two variations of the issue: One which we could reproduce in a few days and the other which took a lot of effort to reproduce."
