Description

 Netscape Navigator contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user spoof a trusted web page. The issue is triggered by a specially crafted URL containing an IMG tag within an A HREF tag that specifies the destination address using the MAP tag, which will be loaded in a user's browser and a different URL would be displayed in the status bar of a spoofed Web page. It is possible that the flaw may allow a malicious user to spoof a valid website, resulting in a loss of integrity.
