  • dec6224bb   docs/zh_CN: add Chinese version of embargoed hardware issues ... Browse Code »

    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.

    This patch translate the guide, add it into toctree. and also add a link
    stub for the original doc.

    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.

  • dc925a360   Documentation/process: Clarify disclosure rules ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • ddaedbbec   Documentation/process: Embargoed hardware security issues ... Browse Code »

    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.
