Microsoft acknowledged that it was "their" problem all along:

  Microsoft Security Advisory (943521)
  URL Handling Vulnerability in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 with Windows Internet Explorer 7 Could Allow Remote Code Execution
  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/943521.mspx

  http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2007/10/10/msrc-blog-additional-details-and-background-on-security-advisory-943521.aspx

I wonder what made them realize their mistake.
