I wouldn't be surprised if some of these details are the first publicity of their respective exploits.
Unpatched systems might actually be slightly more vulnerable now that people are clued about vulnerabilities relatively unknown before. But I suppose that's the double edged side of posting security updates with info about what they fix.
