    Hi All -
    
    Wanted to provide some information about the Cross-Site Scripting
    issue that was reported on 04 February
    (http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/254001).  The flaw only
    existed in beta versions of the .NET Framework, and is not present in
    the final version of the product, which is available for download
    from MSDN.  We encourage any site administrators who are using beta
    versions to upgrade to the final version.
    
    Microsoft's web site was affected because Microsoft is an early
    adopter of its own technology.  Although we have been upgrading our
    web site to the released version of .Net Framework, the upgrade was
    not complete when the information about the vulnerability was made
    public.  We have taken interim steps to prevent the vulnerability
    from being exploited, and have expedited the upgrade.
    
    Regarding the claim that Microsoft was alerted to this vulnerability
    six months ago, we have checked our archives but can find no record
    of having received any information on this subject at
    Secureat_private  Regards,
    
    Microsoft Security Response Center
