Improve visibility of security team

pyropeter commented 5 years ago

When @nmeum and I wanted to disclose a vulnerability yesterday, I was convinced that RIOT didn't have a security team. This caused us to assess the impact ourselves and choose a full-disclosure strategy. To our surprise, @miri64 et. al. immediately started to mitigate the issue, leading to it being fixed less than 24 hours after disclosure. Please accept my apologies for putting you through all that stress and a sleepless night!

In an attempt to still get something productive from this experience, I will now list ways in which I could have noticed the existence of a security team (in a rather obvious attempt at justifying myself, I guess (again, sorry...)):

[x] Mention on http://riot-os.org/
[x] Mention on https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT
[x] Mention in the "New issue" template
[ ] Publish security advisories (to devel@ and users@?)
[x] Create a list of security incidents (e.g. https://tls.mbed.org/security)

Hopefully #10756 helps to make it even more obvious at least in the issue templates.

Marked "Mention on http://riot-os.org/" as completed. The FAQ explains the procedure. Marked "Mention on https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT", we have a security.md since 2020. Marked "Create a list of security incidents", those can now be seen in the "Security" tab in the Github repository.

Create a list of security incidents (e.g. https://tls.mbed.org/security)

Funny side note, that link is dead (naturally).
