Google wants vendors to fix or offer mitigation advice for zero-day software vulnerabilities within seven days. Google researchers propose a public disclosure deadline of 60 days for critical vulnerabilities in 2010.

It remains to be seen if the recommendation will also be adopted by third-party researchers or if it will influence vendors. Microsoft prefers to use the Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process to coordinate with affected vendors.”]
