SECURITY ISSUES
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
polkit uses the same mechanism for reporting security issues as dbus,
|
|
the most recent copy of instructions can be found in the DBus git
|
|
repository:
|
|
|
|
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/tree/HACKING
|
|
|
|
A copy of the instructions as of 2015-06-04:
|
|
|
|
If you find a security vulnerability that is not known to the public,
|
|
please report it privately to dbus-security@lists.freedesktop.org
|
|
or by reporting a freedesktop.org bug that is marked as
|
|
restricted to the "D-BUS security group".
