Hi friends,

One of the remaining steps to make us reach 100% "CII best practices", is to make sure we document how we deal with security problems and provide a way for users to report such problems without immediately disclosing them to the public.

I've written a suggested "security process" for how to handle these sort of problems and I've set up an email alias (libssh2-secur...@haxx.se) with a closed list of receivers to which suspected vulerabilities can be reported.

The process is my *suggested* approach and I'm interested in feedback and comments to make sure we all agree on it. It is right now already easily browsable here:

  https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/blob/master/docs/SECURITY.md

There should be very few surprises in that. It is basically the same document I've used in the curl project for many years. I stole it from there with permission since I wrote the original =)

I'll make it viewable from the web site too in a day or two, depending on the feedback here.
