To ensure more clarity moving forward, the Xen Project Security Team starte= d a community consultation (http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-d= evel/2014-10/msg00976.html) to improve and better define the project=92s Se= curity Vulnerability Response Process (http://xenproject.org/security-polic= y.html). = In particular we are seeking to clarify the following elements of the polic= y, which surfaced during the embargo period of XSA-108: * Sharing of information amongst pre-disclosure list members during an emba= rgo period * Deployment of patches on public systems of fixed versions of the Xen Proj= ect Hypervisor during the embargo period * Service announcements to non-list-member users during an embargo period * Clarifying criteria related to pre-disclosure list membership and making = it easier to verify them * Processing applications of pre-disclosure list membership during an embar= go period For more background and information read the e-mail thread on xen-devel@ ca= lled Security policy ambiguities =96 XSA-108 process post-mortem (http://li= sts.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-10/msg00976.html & http://b= ugs.xenproject.org/xen/bug/44 to see the entire conversation thread in one = place). If you use Xen Project Software in any way, we encourage you to voice your = thoughts to help formulate and update our security policy to ensure it meet= s the needs of our entire community.
