The SELinux Reference Policy Security Vulnerability Handling Process
|
||
|
|
===============================================================================
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document attempts to describe the processes through which sensitive
|
||
|
|
security relevant bugs can be responsibly disclosed to the SELinux Reference
|
||
|
|
Policy project and how the project maintainers should handle these reports. Just
|
||
|
|
like the other SELinux Reference Policy 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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For serious problems or security vulnerabilities in the SELinux kernel code
|
||
|
|
please refer to the SELinux Kernel Subsystem Security Policy in the link below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel/blob/main/SECURITY.md
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For serious problems or security vulnerabilities in the SELinux userspace code
|
||
|
|
please refer to the SELinux Userspace Security Policy in the link below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/blob/master/SECURITY.md
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Problems with the SELinux Reference Policy that are not suitable for immediate
|
||
|
|
public disclosure should be emailed to the current SELinux Reference Policy
|
||
|
|
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.

Alternate contacts for the SELinux Reference Policy are the maintainers of
|
||
|
|
the SELinux Userspace. Their contact information is found in the Security
|
||
|
|
Policy linked above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 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 SELinux Reference Policy 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.
