* docs: clarify security-bugs disclosure policyDave Hansen2018-03-091-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I think we need to soften the language a bit. It might scare folks off, especially the: We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible. which is not really the case. Linus says: It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure, and it's not "no disclosure". It's more like just "timely open fixes". I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word "disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people that we do not mean here.

* docs: Clarify details for reporting security bugsKees Cook2017-03-071-5/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | The kernel security team is regularly asked to provide CVE identifiers, which we don't normally do. This updates the documentation to mention this and adds some more details about coordination and patch handling that come up regularly. Based on an earlier draft by Willy Tarreau.

* docs-rst: create an user's manual bookMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-10-241-0/+46
Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters on an user's manual book. As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual numbering from SecurityBugs. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
