Quick Summary: This is a local process escalation bug. Serious, but it seems remote exploitation would require an additional bug.

Project Zero has stuck to their 90 policy with everyone. They aren't picking on Apple, they've released unpatched bugs for most major vendors.

You may disagree with publication, but keep in mind this is a bug that may be known to some already. There are literally thousands of "private exploits" available for sale if you know where to look.

The 90 day policy forces companies to make their customers safer, and if not 90 days you'd still have to pick an arbitrary length of time but companies may take a longer deadline even less seriously and miss that too (and people would criticize that too).
