Also MBSA (Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer) has
much of this info.
And actually the included (and frequently updated)
MSSecure.XML file has this information within it.
(downloaded as MSSecure.cab).
It isn't perfect, but it is one of the most complete listings.
This file or a similar file is also included in SUS downloads.
(It may not be the same since SUS only supports a subset of
the updates, but this has been increased in each new version.)
It is of course, not particularly convenient to read, as it's
format and structure were designed for automata tools
like MBSA and not for humans but it is in text (XML) and
can be read, or processed.
