      It's almost like Microsoft had a busy month because someone dropped a whole bunch of 0day local privesc bugs that soaked up a bunch of resources or something.https://twitter.com/taviso/status/1138632230111080448 …

      I agree that making it public will protect users. If Microsoft can't find the resources to fix all the vulnerability reports they receive in three months (!), that is very worrying indeed. Do you think users should be more aware that is the case?

      Honestly I don't think this latest fulldisc drama involving @taviso and Microsoft is one to get particularly emotional about. One of P0's objectives is to pressure vendors to up headcount so they can adequately resource responses to disclosures. Doubt any harm will come from this

          I'm a bit sympathetic to Microsoft on this one because of the month they've had patching all those locals. And to spot problems in regression testing just before release? That's shitty luck. Still, not the end of the world.

          I have sympathy, but that's what the *three month* embargo is for, development and regression testing. Three months is beyond reasonable for something this, we would like to see this reduced.

          It has made life so much easier for the rest of us trying to disclose as well. Thank you, P0.
