That's an inaccurate characterization of the situation. The finder of the exploit gave Amazon an opportunity to issue a fix before releasing the exploit to the public. Amazon took him up on the offer within (albeit barely) the time window he had set.
There is nothing preventing the finder of the exploit from releasing it other than his ethics. Well, that and a belief (that you may not share) that maintaining a cooperative relationship and internal communication channels with Amazon has the potential for longer-term benefit than quick release of a single exploit for a single code version. And I respect that.
