Google's Project Zero is the company's in-house super-hacker team, created two years ago, with the mission of finding, tracking, and repairing global software vulnerabilities.

In fact, as early as June of this year, Project Zero team member Ian & middot; Ian Beer (Ian Beer) has informed the Apple side of the loopholes, after which Apple requires a 60-day grace period in order to open these issues before Properly resolved. Google initially rejected the request, but eventually agreed to postpone the date of these loopholes to September 21.

In fact, today, Apple has received a grace period of nearly 5 months, of course, Apple has now solved the problem - in the past two weeks has released the iOS 10.1 and OSX 10. .12. .1. And other systems, but also for the kernel vulnerability to take some remedial measures.

Apple had the vulnerability for the "emergency repair" patch, that is, "short-term relief" patch, also appeared in the September 20 launch of the Mac OS 10.12 system. Of course, from the time point of view, is indeed limited to Google in the September 21, but because the patch may be bypassed, so after the grace period deadline, Apple has not disclosed these messages.
