I would just like to point out that it was posted to bugtraq because the
original work in progress exploit was leaked. Venders are always notified
once you have something that works, and caddis is not in exception to this
rule. The leak caused this bug to be posted before it was meant to be. If
you do notice, obsd posted an advisory right after, which does show that at
least some people were in the "know".
