[Rajiv Saha]

Hi,

This with regards to the recent (March) security bulletin published, on the
link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-017.mspx it says
that Office 2003 SP3 is not affected, however the below link says that Office
2003 SP3 is affected, could someone please clarify this?

Thanks & Regards,
Rajiv Saha

We've asked the MSRC for clarification on this, Rajiv. Expect either page
to be revised shortly.

As MS08-017 addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Web Components
2000, one must assume your machine's being offered the update because
Microsoft Office Web Components 2000 is present, not because Office 2003 SP3
is present.

If you wish further clarification, try posting in the Office Update
newsgroup: microsoft.public.officeupdate.
