After observing the use of this practice by some other open-source projects, we here at ISC have decided to amend our security policy to allow, at our discretion, limited pre-announcement of pending security vulnerability disclosures.
This is our first experiment with the new practice and by making this pre-announcement we wish to inform the BIND user community that the maintenance releases scheduled for Tuesday, May 19th, 2020 will contain security fixes for two separate (unrelated) security vulnerabilities. Further details about the vulnerabilities will be publicly disclosed at the time the releases are published next Tuesday. It is our hope that this pre-announcement will aid BIND operators in planning to respond to that disclosure when it occurs. Michael McNally ISC Security Officer P.S.: if you have feedback or questions concerning this new policy, kindly direct them to security-offi...@isc.org _______________________________________________ bind-announce mailing list bind-announce@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-announce
