Microsoft Taking Longer to Fix Flaws

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the taking-your-sweet-time-about-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A look back at the last three years of security patches from Microsoft shows Redmond is taking at least 25 percent longer to issue patches for "critical" vulnerabilities, now averaging around 135 days to issue a fix. The exception appears to be with "full disclosure" flaws, for which Redmond issued fixes in an average of 46 days last year."

    now averaging around 135 days to issue a fix.

    That's totally unacceptable, in almost every way. FOUR months. FOUR months for the flaws to be potentially exploited. /me Shakes head.
