"... are going to withhold details about this flaw for three months.
Full details will be published on the [later]. This three
month window will allow users of [product] the time needed to download
the updated version before the details are released to the general
public. This reflects [companies]'s new approach to responsible
disclosure."

You forgot the funniest part :

"This vulnerability can be detected by Typhon III [...]"

For network-aware vulnerabilities, knowing details about them is as

products ...

Less kiddies, but more risk for really attractive targets.
