Re: Because the flaws were very different
Mine? Exactly "the vulnerabilty management was dreadful". They rushed out a patch and the same type of attack vector was still exploitable. Because they just put a lame workaround insted of really reviewing the code and re-writing it correctly. Sure, you can blah-blah about tech details in an attempt to hide it behind them - any botched patch has a "rationale", some "corner case", etc. - but it doesn't change the fact that the vuln management has been dreadful, and let's hope this is the final patch and we'll not have to upgrade systems again and again.
Also releasing it Friday night made a lot of sysadmin happy, that night and the following Saturday, believe me.
