    Peter,
    
    CERT/CC has a checkbox on their vulnerability reporting form to keep the
    reporter's information confidential from the affected vendors.  See their
    form at
    
    	http://www.cert.org/reporting/vulnerability_form.txt
    
    If you dont feel comfortable going to the affected vendors directly, there
    is always the option of using a trusted 3rd party like CERT/CC and having
    them contact the vendors on your behalf.
