By telling Tails that the vulnerability will be patched in a future release without disclosing the details of the vulnerability, Tails has no way of knowing if this is actually true.
It’s easy to be a little skeptical when a company spends 6 figures to develop an exploit and then state publicly “we can verify that the issue will be patched in a future Tails release, but we’re not going to tell them or anyone else what the exploit was in the first place.”
If you wanted to keep using that exploit, or sell it, the easiest way to do so would be to tell Tails that it’s going to be fixed without actually giving them any details about it.
