# Security Policy
The information below, as well as information about past
vulnerabilities, can be found at
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/security/
## Supported Versions
A new major Ceph release is made every year, and security and bug fixes
are backported to the last two releases. For the current active
releases and the estimated end-of-life for each, please refer to
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/
## Reporting a Vulnerability
To report a vulnerability, please send email to
security@ceph.io
* Please do not file a public ceph tracker issue for a vulnerability.
* We urge reporters to provide as much information as is practical
(a reproducer, versions affected, fix if available, etc.), as this
can speed up the process considerably.
* Please let us know to whom credit should be given and with what
affiliations.
* If this issue is not yet disclosed publicly and you have any
disclosure date in mind, please share the same along with the
report.
## Vulnerability management process
* The report will be acknowledged within three business days or less.
* The team will investigate and update the email thread with relevant
information and may ask for additional information or guidance
surrounding the reported issue.
* If the team does not confirm the report, no further action will be
taken and the issue will be closed.
* If the team confirms the report, a unique CVE identifier will be
assigned and shared with the reporter. The team will take action to
fix the issue.
* If a reporter has no disclosure date in mind, a Ceph security team
member will coordinate a release date (CRD) with the list members
and share the mutually agreed disclosure date with the reporter.
* The vulnerability disclosure / release date is set excluding Friday and
holiday periods.
* Embargoes are preferred for Critical and High impact
issues. Embargo should not be held for more than 90 days from the
date of vulnerability confirmation, except under unusual
circumstances. For Low and Moderate issues with limited impact and
an easy workaround or where an issue that is already public, a
standard patch release process will be followed to fix the
vulnerability once CVE is assigned.
* Medium and Low severity issues will be released as part of the next
standard release cycle, with at least a 7 days advanced
notification to the list members prior to the release date. The CVE
fix details will be included in the release notes, which will be
linked in the public announcement.
* Commits will be handled in a private repository for review and
testing and a new patch version will be released from this private
repository.
* If a vulnerability is unintentionally already fixed in the public
repository, a few days are given to downstream stakeholders/vendors
to prepare for updating before the public disclosure.
* An announcement will be made disclosing the vulnerability. The
fastest place to receive security announcements is via the
ceph-announce@ceph.io or oss-security@lists.openwall.com mailing
lists. (These lists are low-traffic).
If the report is considered embargoed, we ask you to not disclose the
vulnerability before it has been fixed and announced, unless you
received a response from the Ceph security team that you can do
so. This holds true until the public disclosure date that was agreed
upon by the list. Thank you for improving the security of Ceph and its
ecosystem. Your efforts and responsible disclosure are greatly
appreciated and will be acknowledged.
