Talkback in Netscape 4.5 allows a local user to kill an arbitrary process of another user whose Netscape crashes.

This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized termination of processes, potentially disrupting the work of other users and affecting system stability.

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Netscape to mitigate this vulnerability and restrict access to the Talkback feature.
