-The goal of the Linux kernel security team is to work with the
|
|
|
-bug submitter to bug resolution as well as disclosure. We prefer
|
|
|
-to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible. It is reasonable to
|
|
|
-delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood,
|
|
|
-the solution is not well-tested or for vendor coordination. However, we
|
|
|
-expect these delays to be short, measurable in days, not weeks or months.

-A disclosure date is negotiated by the security team working with the
