Microsoft has yet to respond to this statement, as usual, it has 90 days to patch the issue. If he will not, details regarding this visibility will be published, that is the policy Google Project Zero program.

This is not the first vulnerability that Google disclose in Microsoft operating systems. Over the last year, there were at least two cases when Google released the results even before Microsoft released updates.
