Re: MSIE src&name property disclosure

Joe,

http://www.immunitysec.com/services-sharing.shtml has the answers to 
your questions about the Immunity VSC, but my point was specifically 
about bugs that Microsoft knew about, but didn't think the public did. 
In Linux's case, said bugs would have a detailed advisory. In 
Microsoft's case, such bugs are wrapped into the next service pack silently.

Private firms such as Immunity and several others in the market often 
close the gaps, but it's likely that hackers have had such bugs for long 
periods of time.
