2020-03-26Documentation: provide IBM contacts for embargoed hardwareChristian Borntraeger1-1/+2
Provide IBM contact for embargoed hardware issues. As POWER and Z are different teams with different designs it makes sense to have separate persons for the first contact.

Embargoed hardware issues is a necessary process guide, but leak of Chinese version, since there is more Chinese hardware vendors in market. We'd better have a Chinese version of this guide.

Fill in "..." stubs with proper links to the mailing lists's encryption keys and service description URLs. Similarly, fix wording to specify that multiple members of Linux Foundation's IT team have access to internal kernel.org infrastructure, and that all of them have similar confidentiality obligations as the IT team director.

2019-09-29Documentation/process: Clarify disclosure rulesThomas Gleixner1-7/+33
The role of the contact list provided by the disclosing party and how it affects the disclosure process and the ability to include experts into the development process is not really well explained. Neither is it entirely clear when the disclosing party will be informed about the fact that a developer who is not covered by an employer NDA needs to be brought in and disclosed. Explain the role of the contact list and the information policy along with an eventual conflict resolution better.

2019-08-28Documentation/process: Embargoed hardware security issuesThomas Gleixner1-0/+279
To address the requirements of embargoed hardware issues, like Meltdown, Spectre, L1TF etc. it is necessary to define and document a process for handling embargoed hardware security issues. Following the discussion at the maintainer summit 2018 in Edinburgh (https://lwn.net/Articles/769417/) the volunteered people have worked out a process and a Memorandum of Understanding. The latter addresses the fact that the Linux kernel community cannot sign NDAs for various reasons. The initial contact point for hardware security issues is different from the regular kernel security contact to provide a known and neutral interface for hardware vendors and researchers. The initial primary contact team is proposed to be staffed by Linux Foundation Fellows, who are not associated to a vendor or a distribution and are well connected in the industry as a whole. The process is designed with the experience of the past incidents in mind and tries to address the remaining gaps, so future (hopefully rare) incidents can be handled more efficiently. It won't remove the fact, that most of this has to be done behind closed doors, but it is set up to avoid big bureaucratic hurdles for individual developers. The process is solely for handling hardware security issues and cannot be used for regular kernel (software only) security bugs. This memo can help with hardware companies who, and I quote, "[my manager] doesn't want to bet his job on the list keeping things secret." This despite numerous leaks directly from that company over the years, and none ever so far from the kernel security team. Cognitive dissidence seems to be a requirement to be a good manager. To accelerate the adoption of this process, we introduce the concept of ambassadors in participating companies. The ambassadors are there to guide people to comply with the process, but are not automatically involved in the disclosure of a particular incident.
