In response to a handfull of tech sites raising concerns about a remaining vulnerability in an Internet Explorer cumulative patch, Microsoft has released this statement:
"Microsoft is investigating public reports that one of the vulnerabilities that was fixed in the original update appears affected. It appears there is a new variation of the vulnerability that has caused the scare".

"There are no reports of user being affected by this problem, but Microsoft are committed to keeping customers data safe and are aggressively investigating these reports".

Microsoft has updated its original Security Bulleting MS03-032 to Version 1.3 (8/9/03) adding information regarding the reports that the patch provided does not properly corect the discussed vulnerability.
