| Handling of security vulnerabilities | |
| ==================================== | |
| The U-Boot project takes 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. | |
| Contact | |
| ------- | |
| The preferred initial point of contact is to send email to | |
| `u-boot@lists.denx.de` and use `scripts/get_maintainers.pl` to also include any | |
| relevant custodians. In addition, Tom Rini should be contacted at | |
| `trini@konsulko.com`. | |
| CVE assignment | |
| -------------- | |
| The U-Boot project cannot directly assign CVEs, nor do we require them for | |
| reports or fixes, as this can needlessly complicate the process and may delay | |
| the bug handling. If a reporter wishes to have a CVE identifier assigned ahead | |
| of public disclosure, they will need to coordinate this on their own. When | |
| such a CVE identifier is known before a patch is provided, it is desirable to | |
| mention it in the commit message if the reporter agrees. | |
| Non-disclosure agreements | |
| ------------------------- | |
| The U-Boot project is not a formal body and therefore unable to enter any | |
| non-disclosure agreements. |
