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.
* Chris PeBenito, pebenito@ieee.org
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.
