[3APA3A <3APA3A () SECURITY NNOV RU>]

This issue was originaly reported in January, 2000

http://www.security.nnov.ru/2000/january/#IEIMAGE

And  was  reported  to  Microsoft. Microsoft didn't accepted this bug as
security related but promised to "file a bug report with IE team".

Message  to  Bugtraq  was  moderated  by  Aleph  One  as unimportant, so
publicly information was published one year later on vuln-dev.

http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/vuln-dev/2001/06/msg00094.html

and published as advisory

Nobody reacted.

Amount of buzz about it now makes me think Internet Explorer security is
now really better than it was 4 years ago :)
