4D Inc. releases security issue workaround

SAN JOSE, Calif., December 9, 2004 - 4D, Inc., a leading maker of software solutions that simplify the process of creating, managing and distributing business data, today addressed a security vulnerability recently discovered on HFS+ volumes. Although Apple released a security update on Dec. 2, unfortunately, it didn’t address this issue for third party products such as the 4D WebSTAR Server Suite.

Our engineers are working on fixing this potential vulnerability for 4D WebSTAR Web Servers. Meanwhile, there is a workaround that 4D has posted at www.4d.com/products/hfs_sec.html, which 4D WebSTAR administrators can easily implement to block any potential exploitation.
