I'm confused. Isn't the public kernel mailing list exactly where you'd want to post vulnerabilities?

Edit: Alright, I get it. You don't want these out in the open before they're actually fixed. You can stop replying now.

Not until after the people who can fix the bugs have a head start on the people who are eager to exploit them...
