Hey All,

I've been chatting with security@ about what our requirements are for reporting 
issues.

Background info:

 - Security issues are reported to security@ where we have someone from 
mitre.org who adds the report to their database of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures).

Additionally, projects tend to create a page dedicated to these vulnerabilities:

 - http://geronimo.apache.org/21x-security-report.html

A similar report is available from Secunia:

 - http://secunia.com/advisories/product/15811/?task=advisories


It's pretty clear we have some requirements to fill on this front.  At minimum 
a page on our site to record vulnerabilities fixed in each TomEE release.

Currently, there's one issue for Tomcat that does affect all existing TomEE 
releases:

 - http://secunia.com/advisories/56830/


Still digging, but since we released TomEE in 2011, there've been at least a 
dozen CVEs for Tomcat, 4 for CXF, and 2 for MyFaces.  Haven't yet checked all 
the components.

We always upgrade each release, but two things stick out at me:

 1. we need to include this in our release notes
 2. it's a long time between releases

For #1, I'll see what I can do about hacking up a page we can maintain.

For #2, perhaps a separate thread is better.  Lots of ways to skin that cat.
