Correct, reporting a vulnerability is the right thing to do, we are in
raging agreement.  But purposely *NOT* contacting the vendors involved
because for some stupid immature reason your "don't trust them" and then
doing a press release on the vulnerability is not the right thing to do.


Expecially if you provide a patch which doesn't patch correctly the bug.

Bad move indeed, ISS.
