Yes, it is. we may not like it - but it is the absolute right of the finder
to release as much or as little of the exploit and/or advisory as they want
to, when they want to (bearing in mind reasonable notification of the vendor
of course)
Any finder is as entitled to post "bug found, vendor $VENDOR notified,
details may follow later" as a disclosure; obviously, that will impact both
their credibility and the ability of scanner authors (for instance nessus
plugins) to add pattern checkers for that bug, but as long as they aren't
spreading FUD they are fine (forcing more disclosure is as pro-censorship as
preventing a fuller disclosure :)
