Maxum Moves to Plug NetCloak Security Hole
Maxum Development has released an interim "final candidate" version of NetCloak 2.5.4, its server-side tool for creating dynamic Web content. Version 2.5.4 F1 fixes a serious security problem in previous versions of NetCloak, and Maxum recommends all NetCloak users with secure content on their Web servers upgrade to version 2.5.4 as soon as possible. Maxum is not identifying the security problem to prevent unscrupulous hackers from using it against sites that haven’t installed the 2.5.4 update, and says a fully tested release version of NetCloak 2.5.4 should be available next week. The update can be obtained by filling out a form at Maxum’s Web site.
