The information was already public before the Debian bug was reported,
so the submitter did the correct thing.

Well, I also thought that the posting of mydns-announce is a
publication, but then the author told me that I should keep the
resonance low for the next days, that's way I reacted in this way.

Updates to both stable and unstable are already prepared and will be
uploaded ASAP. I'm still missing the CAN number, the security team sent
a query about it to the ones who found the bug.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern

The developer's reference told me to contact the security team first, if
in doubt which I were because I spoke with the maintainer of MyDNS.

Kind regards,
