    Microsoft has posted a patch that fixes a security vulnerability in Internet Explorer, which can allow VB scripts of one domain to access the contents of another domain in a frame.

    MS02-009 doesn't give an OS requirement for IE5.5 SP2. It says,

    Installation platforms:

    The IE 5.01 patch can be applied to Windows 2000 Systems with Service Pack 2 running IE 5.01.
    The IE 5.5 patch can be installed on systems running IE 5.5 Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2.
    The IE 6.0 patch can be installed on system running IE 6.0 Gold.


    The Security Update, February 14, 2002 page is somewhat confusing since it says that the update applies to:

    Windows XP
    Windows 2000
    Windows Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
    Windows 98
    Windows NT® 4.0
    Internet Explorer 6
    Internet Explorer 5.5
    Internet Explorer 5.01

    It's especially confusing for Windows 95 users....
    However the actual download page has a link for Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows 9X and NT which is the one I downloaded.
