No SharePoint fix any time soon

You would think that a flaw in something like the SharePoint software that is important enough to be rated, well, important, by Microsoft would be high on the list of priorities to fix. You would have thought that this privilege flaw, that might give a would be attacker access to resources they should not be able to see would be rolled out in the September updates. You could expect users of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on Windows Server 2003 and Office SharePoint server 2007 to be a little miffed if Microsoft was to decline to roll out said fix in September, when it had been slated for release then. And I will put money on said users being not at all happy at Microsoft for declining to comment if the patch will be available in October, or November, or ever for that matter.
