>**Web Companion 5.0v4 Plugs FileMaker Holes** -- FileMaker Inc.
> has released Web Companion 5.0v4 to address the substantial
> Internet security holes in FileMaker Pro 5 and FileMaker
> Pro 5 Unlimited. (See "FileMaker 5 Internet Security Holes"
> in TidBITS-529_.) Web Companion 5.0v4 honors field-level security
> settings, preventing miscreants from retrieving the contents of
> any field in a Web-published database using FileMaker 5's XML
> publishing capabilities or via email. The update also prevents
> FileMaker Pro 5 from being used to send anonymous email by
> disabling some of FileMaker 5's new email capabilities. The
> update is 573K and is recommended for all users of FileMaker
> Pro 5 and FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited who use Web Companion. [GD]
