I think that microsoft have over looked there operating systems source code too much not to notice such a huge bug in there packages.

Source code to exploits should not be realeased at all, companies sufer too much already with all the current and old vulnerabilities that have been released.

New exploits should be used on the companies servers that they found the bug in such as "Microsoft" just as a proof of concept stating where the bug is and possibly mailing them the exploit details.

Thanks
