It does take time for these things to be tested and deployed. Regardless of severity of bug, distributions must test packages before sending them out to all their users. It would be unfortunate if a new package were to be released immediately only to be soon masked/recalled due to unforeseen consequences. Of note, the Gentoo package was bumped approximately 2 hours after the advisory was published.
