The LVP vulnerability was reported in September, for what it's worth.


That's still more or less 120 days ago. Well over the 90 day typical window.


I'm not saying it's bad (I'm pretty close to a disclosure absolutist), though I don't really know what the norms are for hardware attacks --- both papers are well past the normal coordinated disclosure window for software.


The vendor requested embargo timelines can get pretty crazy.

Intel requested an embargo for 21 months for SRBDS/Crosstalk.

For Downfall, a more recent one, Intel requested a 12 month embargo to release a microcode update.


For all I know, that might be a reasonable ask for these kinds of vulnerabilities --- not that researchers have to honor them.
