Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-039 announces the availability of a patch that eliminates two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The vulnerabilities could allow a malicious web site operator, under very unusual conditions, to misrepresent his web site as a trusted site.
What´s the scope of the vulnerabilities?
The vulnerabilities could allow a malicious web site operator to misrepresent his web site as a trusted web site, and engage in a secure session with the user as though his was the trusted site.
The vulnerabilities would be difficult to exploit, and would require that the malicious user already have significant control over the communications channel. Even then, it would represent a target of opportunity at best -- the malicious user could not compel anyone to connect to his server.

Microsoft Corporation is preparing to issue its first beta release of "Whistler," the next version of Windows 2000. And this release will run the gamut from a new Personal Edition that will ultimately replace Windows Me, to a series of high-end 64-bit products for Intel Itanium processor-based systems. The initial rollout of the beta will be focused exclusively on Microsoft´s closest partners, such as software developers, hardware companies, PC makers, Joint Development Program (JDP) members, and corporate deployment professionals. And unlike the Windows 2000 beta, which lasted almost three years, Microsoft is promising a "very aggressive timeframe" for Whistler: The company plans to ship the product in April 2001.
