Project Zero Patch Tuesday roundup, November 2014
Summary: Google Project Zero's November 2014 Patch Tuesday roundup details bugs reported by its members, including two Internet Explorer sandbox escapes found by James Forshaw, three Microsoft Office memory corruption vulnerabilities found by Ben Hawkes, Flash Player bytecode verification logic errors found by Ian Beer, and miscellaneous Flash memory corruption bugs from Tavis Ormandy, Chris Evans and Natalie Silvanovich. All of these were fixed within Project Zero's 90-day disclosure deadline, while an OS X sandbox escape became publicly viewable because it exceeded that deadline.
Bottom line: An OS X sandbox escape is now public because the vendor missed the 90-day deadline, and Project Zero states it hopes to tighten that deadline in the future - meaning the window between a reported bug and its public disclosure is set to shrink.
