SAN FRANCISCO -- Just days after a serious security flaw was revealed in two
popular electronic mail programs, an equally troubling vulnerability has been
discovered in Eudora, the most widely used of all e-mail software.

The Eudora flaw makes it possible for a malicious computer user with little or
no programming expertise to booby-trap an e-mail message by inserting a
seemingly harmless link to an Internet location that in fact executes
malignant code. This could permit an attacker to destroy or steal data or to
otherwise tamper with a personal computer.
