Notifications and Advisories

Notification of Errata

We give information about security flaws that affect Red Hat products and services in the form of Security Advisories. Advisories for all Red Hat products will be published to a relevant Red Hat mailing list. The mailing lists will be open for subscription to anyone and will have publicly accessible archives.

For products serviced by the Red Hat Network we will also provide advisories and update notifications via the Red Hat Network.

All advisories sent by email from Red Hat will be digitally signed.

Official Statements

Where a new public security vulnerability is under investigation, or where an issue does not affect Red Hat, we will provide official vendor statements. These statements are available at the
NIST National Vulnerability Database and can be found by searching by CVE name, or as a complete downloadable file. Where no official statement exists, the Red Hat Security Response Team should be contacted.

Advance Notification

Red Hat do not provide advance notification of private security issues to our partners or customers. We also will not inform our partners or customers that an investigation is underway.

For issues that are already in the public domain we may notify our partners, customers, or other organizations about our investigations or response process.

Policy for Acknowledgements in Advisories

Red Hat advisories contain credits or acknowledgements where appropriate. We aim to include acknowledgements of companies or individuals that have reported issues to us in a responsible fashion.
