Security Professionals,

On Wednesday, April 7, 2004, Emmanouel Kellinis reported to Bugtraq that
the following HTML tag would cause IE to crash:

<iframe src="?">

Please see post:

I discovered this bug in January 2004 and reported it to Microsoft on
January 28, 2004.

After working with Microsoft, I decided to wait until the bug was fixed
before announcing it. In my opinion, this is part of responsible
disclosure.

I hope Microsoft will publicly reply to this post and confirm that I was
the individual who originally reported the bug to them.
