[PATCH v2 0/1] security-process: update with mailing list details

[PATCH v2 0/1] security-process: update with mailing list details

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org>

Hello,

* After upstream discussions and considering various options like
  LaunchPad bugs, GitLab issues etc.

  -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg04266.html
  -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-10/msg00059.html

  We are about to introduce a 'qemu-security' mailing list to receive and
  triage upstream QEMU security issues.

* Intention is to allow more community participation in handling and
  triaging of the QEMU security issues.

* This change relieves current set of individual contacts from the
  responsibility of handling upstream QEMU issues. Of course they are
  welcome to the new 'qemu-security' mailing list.

* To simplify the encrypted communication process, we keep only a single
  contact of <secalert@redhat.com> from our previous list of contacts.

  This way reporters need not look for and manage GPG keys of multiple
  contacts.

v1:
* This patch v1 updates the QEMU security-process web page with detailed
  process.
  -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg06234.html

v2:
* Incorporate further inputs and suggestions from upstream reviews.
  -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-12/msg00568.html
  -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-12/msg00584.html

I'd appreciate if you have any inputs and/or suggestions for this change.

Thank you.

-## How to Contact Us Securely
-
-We use GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) keys to secure communications. Mail
-sent to members of the list can be encrypted with public keys of all members
-of the list. We expect to change some of the keys we use from time to time.
-Should a key change, the previous one will be revoked.
-
-## How we respond
-
-Maintainers listed on the security reporting list operate a policy of
-responsible disclosure. As such they agree that any information you share with
-them about security issues that are not public knowledge is kept confidential
-within respective affiliated companies. It is not passed on to any third-party,
-including Xen Security Project, without your permission.
-
-Email sent to us is read and acknowledged with a non-automated response. For
-issues that are complicated and require significant attention, we will open an
-investigation and keep you informed of our progress. We might take one or more
-of the following steps:
+Please report any suspected security issue in QEMU to the security mailing
+list at:
+
+* [\<qemu-security@nongnu.org\>](https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-security)
+
+To report an issue via [GPG](https://gnupg.org/) encrypted email, please send
+it to the Red Hat Product Security team at:
+
+* [\<secalert@redhat.com\>](https://access.redhat.com/security/team/contact/#contact)
+
+**Note:** after the triage, encrypted issue details shall be sent to the upstream
+'qemu-security' mailing list for archival purposes.
+
+## How to report an issue:
+
+* Please include as many details as possible in the issue report.
+  Ex:
+    - QEMU version, upstream commit/tag
+    - Host & Guest architecture x86/Arm/PPC, 32/64 bit etc.
+    - Affected code area/snippets
+    - Stack traces, crash details
+    - Malicious inputs/reproducer steps etc.
+    - Any configurations/settings required to trigger the issue.
+
+* Please share the QEMU command line used to invoke a guest VM.
+
+* Please specify whom to acknowledge for reporting this issue.
+
+## How we respond:
+
+* Process of handling security issues comprises following steps:
+
+  0) **Acknowledge:**
+    - A non-automated response email is sent to the reporter(s) to acknowledge
+      the reception of the report. (*60 day's counter starts here*)
+
+  1) **Triage:**
+    - Examine the issue details and confirm whether the issue is genuine
+    - Validate if it can be misused for malicious purposes
+    - Determine its worst case impact and severity
+      [Low/Moderate/Important/Critical]
+
+  2) **Response:**
+    - Negotiate embargo timeline (if required, depending on severity)
+    - Request a [CVE](https://cveform.mitre.org/) and open an upstream
+      [bug](https://www.qemu.org/contribute/report-a-bug/)
+    - Create an upstream fix patch annotated with
+        - CVE-ID
+        - Link to an upstream bugzilla
+        - Reported-by, Tested-by etc. tags
+    - Once the patch is merged, close the upstream bug with a link to the
+      commit
+        - Fixed in: <commit hash/link>
+
+* Above security lists are operated by select analysts, maintainers and/or
+  representatives from downstream communities.
+
+* List members follow a **responsible disclosure** policy. Any non-public
+  information you share about security issues, is kept confidential within
+  members of the QEMU security team and a minimal supporting staff in their
+  affiliated companies. Such information will not be disclosed to third party
+  organisations/individuals without prior permission from the reporter(s).
+
+* We aim to process security issues within maximum of **60 days**. That is not
+  to say that issues will remain private for 60 days, nope. After the triaging
+  step above
+    - If severity of the issue is sufficiently low, an upstream public bug
+      will be created immediately.
+    - If severity of the issue requires co-ordinated disclosure at a future
+      date, then the embargo process below is followed, and upstream bug will
+      be opened at the end of the embargo period.
+
+  This will allow upstream contributors to create, test and track fix patch(es).
 
 ### Publication embargo
 
-If a security issue is reported that is not already publicly disclosed, an
-embargo date may be assigned and communicated to the reporter. Embargo
-periods will be negotiated by mutual agreement between members of the security
-team and other relevant parties to the problem. Members of the security contact
-list agree not to publicly disclose any details of the security issue until
-the embargo date expires.
+* If a security issue is reported that is not already public and its severity
+  requires coordinated disclosure, then an embargo date will be set and
+  communicated to the reporter(s).
+
+* Embargo periods will be negotiated by mutual agreement between reporter(s),
+  members of the security list and other relevant parties to the problem.
+  The preferred embargo period is upto [2
+  weeks](https://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros).
+  However, longer embargoes may be negotiated if the severity of the issue
+  requires it.
+
+* Members of the security list agree not to publicly disclose any details of
+  an embargoed security issue until its embargo date expires.
 
 ### CVE allocation
 
-An security issue is assigned with a CVE number. The CVE numbers will usually
-be allocated by one of the vendor security engineers on the security contact
-list.
+Each security issue is assigned a [CVE](https://cveform.mitre.org/) number.
+The CVE number is allocated by one of the vendor security engineers on the
+security list.
