# Security Policy

## Supported Versions

QCBOR has not branched and is backwards compatible. The primary support is on the tip
of the repository and most security fixes will be made there.

If a security fix is needed for an older version, please report and request it
explicitly and it will be considered if it truly can't be closed out by
a fix to the tip and upgrading to the tip.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report security vulnerabilities by sending email to lgl@island-resort.com AND posting
it as a GitHub issue.
Please report security vulnerabilities by sending email to lgl@island-resort.com.
Please include "QCBOR SECURITY" in the subject line.

A GitHub issue will be filed for any vulnerability of substance. It will be marked with
the label "security".
In most cases the vulnerability should not be reported by filing an issue in GitHub as this
will publically disclose the issue before a fix is available.

Laurence Lundblade maintains this code and will respond in a day or two with an initial
evaluation.

Security fixes will generally be prioritized over other work, especially if the
vulnerability is a significant one.
Security fixes will be prioritized over other work.

Vulnerabilities will be fixed promptly, but some may be more complex than others
and take longer. If the fix is quick, it will usually be turned around in a
few days.

If the vulnerability is rejected, an issue will be filed in GitHub and then closed
with an explanation of why it was rejected. It will have the labels "security"
and "wontfix". This is so there is a record of the filing.
## Availability of Fixes

When the fix has been created, it will be privately verified with the party that reported it.
Only after the fix has been verified and the reporter has had a chance to integrate the fix,
will be be made available as a public commit in GitHub.

If the reporter doesn't respond or can't integrate the fix, it will be made public after 30 days.
