As such, we'd -like to know when a security bug is found so that it can be fixed and -disclosed as quickly as possible. Please report security bugs to the -Linux kernel security team. - -1) Contact - -The Linux kernel security team can be contacted by email at -<security@kernel.org>. This is a private list of security officers -who will help verify the bug report and develop and release a fix. -It is possible that the security team will bring in extra help from -area maintainers to understand and fix the security vulnerability. - -As it is with any bug, the more information provided the easier it -will be to diagnose and fix. Please review the procedure outlined in -REPORTING-BUGS if you are unclear about what information is helpful. -Any exploit code is very helpful and will not be released without -consent from the reporter unless it has already been made public. - -2) Disclosure - -The goal of the Linux kernel security team is to work with the -bug submitter to bug resolution as well as disclosure. We prefer -to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible. It is reasonable to -delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, -the solution is not well-tested or for vendor coordination. However, we -expect these delays to be short, measurable in days, not weeks or months. -A disclosure date is negotiated by the security team working with the -bug submitter as well as vendors. However, the kernel security team -holds the final say when setting a disclosure date. The timeframe for -disclosure is from immediate (esp. if it's already publicly known) -to a few weeks. As a basic default policy, we expect report date to -disclosure date to be on the order of 7 days. - -3) Non-disclosure agreements - -The Linux kernel security team is not a formal body and therefore unable -to enter any non-disclosure agreements. |
