Re: [Full-disclosure] 0day Vulnerability in VLC (this is my first release of the vuln anywhere)



Someone earlier (in another thread?) mentioned notifying the vendor first and, if they don't respond within a week or some other reasonable period of time, going public with the 0day and a clear conscious. And I completely agree- at least make an effort to let the vendor know before you go public.

IMHO nobody should bother negotiating with terrorist vendors.

Q: What responsibility vendors have?
A: Zero. Check their disclaimers.

That's indeed not rocket science.

Nobody should release their disclosure/exploit (or give hint about it) in
the wild before letting the vendor fix it.

There's already enough blackhats out there selling/using those.

I sure hope I am not the only person in the list who wishes responsible
disclosure.
