Really pretty poor turnaround time sadly

  I don't disagree, but keep in mind that the entire AirPort product line was publicly discontinued three months before the author reported the problem. I wonder how many other consumer companies would've bothered with a patch at all?

    Wow, three whole months? I wonder how many other consumer companies would've bothered with a patch at all? Microsoft would have. For example: Microsoft is planning to end support for Windows 10 Mobile devices in December. While Microsoft revealed back in 2017 that the company was no longer developing new features or hardware for Windows 10 Mobile, security and software updates have continued. These security updates will now cease on December 10th 2019... https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/18/18188054/microsoft-windows-phone-windows-10-mobile-end-of-support-updates https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/18/18188054/microsoft-window...

      Microsoft definitely would have, but they have so many enterprise customers for those products that it’s not really a choice; they always plan for LTS. I was thinking more along the lines of e.g. Sony. There are tons of consumer devices that no longer get updates after they’ve been withdrawn from the market.

  And this is why researchers should state and stick with a (short) disclosure deadline.
