Linux kernel developers take security very seriously. 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.
