Current workflow will not be changed: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- for packages, having stable versions - new versions will be |
| 16 |
stabilized, vulnerable versions - removed from tree. GLSA will be |
| 17 |
released if it's necessary, AFTER stabilization will be finished for all |
| 18 |
security supported arches. |
| 19 |
- for packages, that never was in stable - GLSA will NOT be even drafted. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
One notable exception for 1) - we do not do GLSAs for kernel packages. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, to conclude, we track all vulnerabilities, that are discovered in |
| 24 |
main portage tree, but GLSAs mainly targeted for stable systems, e.g. |
| 25 |
stable branch should not contain vulnerable software(ideally). |
