The libseccomp Security Vulnerability Handling Process
===============================================================================
https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp

This document document attempts to describe the processes through which
sensitive security relevant bugs can be responsibly disclosed to the libseccomp
project and how the project maintainers should handle these reports.  Just like
the other libseccomp process documents, this document should be treated as a
guiding document and not a hard, unyielding set of regulations; the bug
reporters and project maintainers are encouraged to work together to address
the issues as best they can, in a manner which works best for all parties
involved.

### Reporting Problems

Problems with the libseccomp library that are not suitable for immediate public
disclosure should be emailed to the current libseccomp maintainers, the list is
below.  We typically request at most a 90 day time period to address the issue
before it is made public, but we will make every effort to address the issue as
quickly as possible and shorten the disclosure window.

### Resolving Sensitive Security Issues

Upon disclosure of a bug, the maintainers should work together to investigate
the problem and decide on a solution.  In order to prevent an early disclosure
of the problem, those working on the solution should do so privately and
outside of the traditional libseccomp development practices.  One possible
solution to this is to leverage the GitHub "Security" functionality to create a
private development fork that can be shared among the maintainers, and
optionally the reporter.  A placeholder GitHub issue may be created, but
details should remain extremely limited until such time as the problem has been
fixed and responsibly disclosed.  If a CVE, or other tag, has been assigned to
the problem, the GitHub issue title should include the vulnerability tag once
the problem has been disclosed.

### Public Disclosure

Whenever possible, responsible reporting and patching practices should be
followed, including notification to the linux-distros and oss-security mailing
lists.
