Re: SIx months??? Apple was lucky it wasn't Google to find them...

LOL! It's astounding how MS is evil, Apple and Google always right... MS has to fix everything in 90 days, Apple can ask for 180 (and is this fixed?) and nobody complains... if the vuln was already known in October 2014 and Chromium fixed it only recently, it took more than 90 days too... it's always easier to apply hard schedules to others than ourselves, right?

Delaying publication until a fix is ready - and the vendor is working on it - is a good thing - sure, somebody else can have found the same vulns, but maybe not. If you publish them, you ensure any criminal knows it and can use it easily. The day a vuln will hit you hard in the face, you'll change your mind...
