NP,

I would clarify that in future notifications. i.e.: "tippingpoint
customers have been
protected from attacks of this kind since xyz date by GenericFilterX". Then
you could list the time lines for discovered/acquired, vendor
notification, patch released from vendor, and finally; public
disclosure.
