Details about a GLIBC vulnerability were published a couple of days ago by a company called Qualys and the distributions using it have already received patches. Now, it seems that Google knew about this problem, patched it in ChromeOS a year ago, and forgot to say anything to anyone else.
Things are pretty clear in the open source world. When someone finds a vulnerability, exploit, or any kind of issues, that person or entity usually informs everyone else about it. That's the reason why CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) exists so that everyone can patch their systems accordingly and keep their systems safe.
