Its not the reporter's fault that other people broke the embargo.
replyThey don't have to publish a working exploit as soon as the embargo is broken, though.
replyPerhaps, but if the exploit code is published folks can double-check that they implemented the mitigations properly.
replyIf there's no PoC, how can you really be sure?
anyone who will use the exploit maliciously will immediately and trivially be able to create a working exploit.
replyAn exploit was already published.
replyWhy not? There has already been a working exploit floating around, at least now it comes from an authoritative source.
replyMy immediate reaction was the same.
replyBut this is very similar to Copy Fail, and I'm assuming there was an assumption that others might also discover this soon as well. Hence the urgency.
At least that's my charitable interpretation.

replyWTF cares? Publish them without disclosure is the true way, otherwise noone would care about security and your data.
