It's not an NS6 security hole (that would be minor since it is a preview relase). It's an NS4 security hole, which is much worse. Right now the only solution is to turn off plugins and/or turn off Java. As I understand it the problem is that the Netscape JVM or some Java classes running inside of it don't perform a security check that they should. Netscape has announced that there will be a patch soon, but I haven't heard an ETA for that.
