So basically to summarize, Google embargoes security patches for four months so OEMs can push out updates more slowly. And if those patches were immediately added to an open source project like GrapheneOS, attackers would gain info on the vulnerabilities before OEMs provide updates (the GrapheneOS project can see the patches, but they can't ship them). But a lot of patches end up being leaked anyway, so the delay ends up being pointless.

Fuck, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the OEMs.

I am so sick of security being compromised so stupid, lazy people don't have to do their jobs efficiently. Not like this is even unusual.
