"InfoSec News was known to say....."
 
In fact, Marc Maiffret of eEye says that they were scheduled to
post the announcement a week earlier, but Microsoft contacted him
to ask for more time, saying there was a problem with the patch
and they needed another week to fix it.

EEye complied. Jay Dyson correctly noted that Microsoft publicly
thanked the company for waiting until they had prepared the patch.
 
On top of that, it's been established that CR II (and possibly CR I)
had a different enough structure to be considered as having NOT been
made possible by the disclosure of eEye's findings.
