I reported the NULL dereferencing bug and not security-related buffer overflows
(with data from configuration files like lynx.cfg) in public in September, as I
saw them as bugs and not as security vulnerabilities.
The NNTP bug in October was treated as a secret, with communication between the
vendor and various distributors first, as I saw it as a vulnerability and as I
and the others from the Debian Security Audit Project believe in responsible
full disclosure.
Perhaps I should have posted something here about the NNTP bug when it was made
public on the 17th.
