Adapt the security policy for the security page
Call the document a "Security Policy" to disambiguate it from the security *process* documented in the security page. Also, point to the security page for bug reporting and CVE assignment. Signed-off-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>

## Reporting security bugs
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT: All bugs reported in Bugzilla are public.**
|
||||
|
||||
As a rule of thumb, security vulnerabilities which are exposed over the network
|
||||
or can be used for local privilege escalation (through existing applications,
|
||||
not synthetic test cases) should be reported privately. We expect that such
|
||||
critical security bugs are rare, and that most security bugs can be reported in
|
||||
Bugzilla, thus making them public immediately. If in doubt, you can file a
|
||||
private bug, as explained in the next paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to report a _private_ security bug that is not immediately
|
||||
public, please contact _one_ of our downstream distributions with security
|
||||
teams. The follow teams have volunteered to handle such bugs:
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian: security@debian.org
|
||||
* Red Hat: secalert@redhat.com
|
||||
* SUSE: security@suse.de
|
||||
|
||||
Please report the bug to _just one_ of these teams. It will be shared with
|
||||
other teams as necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The team you contacted will take care of details such as vulnerability rating
|
||||
and [CVE assignment](http://cve.mitre.org/about/). It is likely that the team
|
||||
will ask to file a public bug because the issue is sufficiently minor and does
|
||||
not warrant an embargo. An embargo is not a requirement for being credited
|
||||
with the discovery of a security vulnerability.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting public security bugs
|
||||
|
||||
We expect that critical security bugs are rare, and that most security bugs can
|
||||
be reported in Bugzilla, thus making them public immediately. When reporting
|
||||
public security bugs the reporter should provide rationale for their choice of
|
||||
public disclosure.
|
||||
The process to report security bugs is documented on the glibc [security
|
||||
page](https://sourceware.org/glibc/security.html). In general, most security
|
||||
bugs may be reported publicly in the [glibc
|
||||
bugzilla](https://sourceware.org/glibc/bugs.html), but if in doubt, please feel
|
||||
free to report security issues privately first.

## CVE assignment
|
||||
|
||||
Security bugs flagged with `security+` should have [CVE identifiers](http://cve.mitre.org/about/).
|
||||
|
||||
For bugs which are public (thus all bugs in Bugzilla), CVE assignment has to
|
||||
happen through the [oss-security mailing
|
||||
list](http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/oss-security).
|
||||
(Downstreams will eventually request CVE assignment through their public
|
||||
Bugzilla monitoring processes.)
|
||||
|
||||
For initially private security bugs, CVEs will be assigned as needed by the
|
||||
downstream security teams. Once a public bug is filed, the name should be
|
||||
included in Bugzilla.
|
||||
Security bugs flagged with `security+` should have [CVE
|
||||
identifiers](http://cve.mitre.org/about/). Please reach out to the glibc
|
||||
security team using the documented [security
|
||||
process](https://sourceware.org/glibc/security.html) and they work on getting a
|
||||
CVE number.
