Update: I'm taking this off the security feed so the new one shows up on the Security Developer Center home page.
Update: Chat is over. Lots of good info from Mike and great questions. I'll post a link to the transcript when I get it.

The next Mike Nash Security Chat is Thursday, November 18th at 9:00 AM (PST). These chats take place monthly and they provide an excellent chance to mix with the security experts at Microsoft. We really had a good time with the last chat, and I would encourage everyone interested in security to attend. Here's a link and a description:

Microsoft has answered, so I'll post the results. Although the certificate of the end user (the web site) was valid, an intermediate certificate had indeed expired. Internet Explorer displayed a combination of erroneous information and correct information about the end user's certificate, but Internet Explorer did so because it had correctly diagnosed a problem with the intermediate certificate, even though it didn't display that information.
This bug makes it indeed a product support issue rather than a security issue, so I'm supposed to pay Microsoft a fee in order to report it. I didn't do that so I think the issue is closed.
