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. |
