Yes, as you know, I am extremely opposed to hackers open sourcing exploit code onto the internet prior to a vendor-created patch being available. Also as you know, many open source proponents right here on this site condone the practice as being a legitimate security process. Bottom line, users are now exposed to exploit with no patch available. But since it's an open source application to begin with, they're not going to get much sympathy.
