We have released a new note which includes additional information to the
previous warning.
http://java-house.etl.go.jp/ml/archive/j-h-b/031072.html (in Japanese)
http://java-house.etl.go.jp/ml/archive/j-h-b/031178.html (in English)

There are three new issues:
  1.  Windows2000 is also affected
  2.  IE5 has additional hole for "Existence Attack" over whole C:\
  3.  Patch available from Microsoft with inappropriate description
      of the vulnerability


Thank you.
