Microsoft KB# to Advisory name mapping

Does anyone know where I could find a table that would map the Microsoft KB#'s that the hotfixes are associated with to the Advisory name (MS##-###)? I know XATO has a page something like what I want, but it doesn't seem to be complete or up to date: http://www.xato.net/advisories/beta/win2k.htm When looking at an NT server to determine what hotfixes have been applied you can run "hotfix -l" to get a dialog box with the KB#'s in it (Q147222, Q238606, etc.) You can also scan the registry in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix to get a similar listing some of which will have comments and fix description keys that may or may not be useful in identifying the advisories they are associated with. What I ideally want to get is something like: MS00-086 - web server file request parsing vulnerabilty - Q277873 ... On a machine with unknown patches applied it can be a real pain to go from the KB#'s to the MS Advisories. Thanks, Desmond.
