Google Discloses Another Windows 10 Security Flaw Before A Patch Is Ready
Google revealed a flaw in Microsoft Edge earlier this week, after Microsoft failed to fix the error in time. Now, Google's Project Zero security researchers team is uncovering another Windows 10 security flaw Microsoft did not patch again before the 90-day period imposed by Google. Neowin detected that Google reported two errors to Microsoft in November, but the company only addressed one of them with its recent patch Tuesday fixes.
The last unpatched problem is Elevation of Privilege, which allows a normal user to gain administrator privileges on a system. Microsoft has described the flaw as "important", but not "critical", since it can not be exploited remotely. It's still a major problem to fix, since an attacker could combine this with an unknown remote code execution to gain administrator access, although that is an unlikely scenario unless Microsoft does not fix it immediately.
It is unclear when Microsoft intends to address the latest security flaw in Windows 10, and the company still needs to resolve the Edge vulnerability that was revealed by Google earlier this week. Google and Microsoft have a history of disagreements over Google's approach to disclosure of vulnerabilities. Microsoft resumed Google's focus on security patches last year, after discovering a Chrome flaw and reporting it "responsibly" to Google so that the company had enough time to patch.
Google's policy of disclosing after 90 days without a patch is often criticized and applauded in equal measure. There is much evidence to suggest that security vulnerabilities are increasing in Windows and across the industry, and Microsoft has clearly had trouble solving these two problems well in advance. It can also be argued that Google is making rival software more secure with its efforts, making everyone's software safe. However, Google also has competitive commercial interests, and Project Zero has been unusually aggressive in the search and publication of new vulnerabilities.
Reports suggest that Google's Project Zero security team originated from the aftermath of Google's 2009 hack, an intrusion attributed to an unrepaired failure in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 browser.
Google makes exceptions to its strict rules, with grace periods, and can even spread much faster if the vulnerability is being exploited actively. Google revealed a major Windows flaw in 2016 only 10 days after reporting it to Microsoft, and the company revealed zero-day errors in Windows in the past before the patches are available.

Office 365 Video Evolves Into Microsoft Stream
Video from Office 365, Microsoft's streaming video platform for businesses, gains new smart capabilities and a new name.
Microsoft officially launched the June 20 Stream, a hosting and corporate video streaming service that is set up to replace the Office 365 video.
The software giant first unveiled Office 365 Video in 2014 as a solution for companies looking to share video content with their users. Based on Azure Media Services, Microsoft's cloud-based streaming platform famed for hosting NBC's Olympic coverage, Office 365 Video enables customers to upload videos and embed them into various Microsoft applications, including Yammer.
Fast forward a couple of years, and Microsoft is giving the service a new name and adding features designed to help customers better manage and consume video on the platform.
"Microsoft Stream is a single destination for video management with integrated intelligence, deep integration in Office 365, and the IT security and management capabilities required by businesses of all sizes," wrote Seth Patton, general manager of Office 365 Microsoft Product Marketing, In a June 20 publication. "In addition, it is the inter-video service for Office 365 suites in the company, which makes it possible for people to share videos within Office 365 applications such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and Yammer."
Used with the Office 365 groups, Microsoft stream offers each group a designated channel. The service also links to Azure Active Directory, the company's cloud-based identity and user access management offer, to help ensure that only authorized users or target audience can watch uploaded videos, Patton added. Built-in encryption helps keep out prying eyes.
By making the process of working with video easier and helping to encourage adoption among workers, Microsoft claims that users can upload, manage and share streaming video content with just a couple of clicks. And similar to YouTube and other video sites, Stream offers a customized homepage with relevant videos, channels in a row and trend content.
Microsoft Stream also borrows some of the advanced functionality of Azure Media Service to intelligently imbue the service.
The Face Detection function can be used to track when a person appears in a video. The feature generates a timeline that can be clicked for each face, allowing viewers to quickly analyze the appearance of the desired person. To add context to user feedback in the comments section of a video, Stream creates linked timecodes, allowing users to jump directly to the specific part of the video.
To improve the search functionality, Stream offers transcribed audio from voice to text. Users can simply type keywords to automatically jump to a point in a video when they are pronounced.
According to Microsoft's mobile product strategy, Stream videos can be viewed on mobile devices, PCs and across a wide range of screen sizes. In terms of accessibility, Stream supports subtitles, a high-contrast mode and keyboard navigation.
Microsoft Stream is now available as a standalone service and will soon be activated on current Office 365 Enterprise subscriptions. According to an online support document, Microsoft plans to begin migrating Office 365 Video to Stream users in phases beginning in the second half of this year.
