Check out the disclosure timeline.

> 2025-08-11 NVIDIA reiterated the request to postpone disclosure until mid-January 2026.

> 2025-08-12 Quarkslab replied that the bugs were first reported in June 18th and mid-January was well past the standard 90 day normally agreed for coordinated disclosure and that we did not see a rationale for postponing publication by, at a minimum, 3 months. Therefore Quarkslab continued with the publication deadline set to September 23rd 2025 and offered to extend the deadline an additional 30 days provided NVIDIA gave us some insights about the full scope of affected products and if the fixes are to be released as a stand alone security fix, as opposed to rolled into a version bump that includes other code changes.

Richest corporation in the world needs 7 months to remedy? Why not 4 years?

Microsoft might hold a patent on this.

At least until the SEC starts punishing revenue inflation through self-dealing.
