Google has decided to software developers to give more time to seal a leak before Google decides to publishing them. Be very much larger Google’s terms, but it’s moving. Google previously published after 90 days the details of a zero-day vulnerability, a leak that has not been found before. Now it is possible to apply for 14 days extension of it.
Google has already received twice for each other to get the ire of Microsoft on his neck. Google published a vulnerability in Windows 8.1 two days before the patch would be available. Microsoft thus felt that Google is not doing to a safer environment for the user but to other companies put in a bad light.
Google initially held on to his 90-day rule and defended even that it is in the interest of consumers. Now the company still seems to come back by developers to allow 14 days to ask for extra time. Furthermore, Google is going to take into account weekends and holidays, so that a developer has enough time to work on a solution. Finally, Google is preparing to move to the date when it is really necessary, but it does not go into the details that involves.
In addition to publishing vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Google has also been three vulnerabilities in Apple’s Mac OS X gepubliceeerd
