* | Update advisory format and introduce some automation | Siddhesh Poyarekar | 2024-01-30 | 1 | -12/+10 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify the advisory format by dropping the -Backport tags and instead stick to using just the -Commit tags. To identify backports, put a substring of git-describe into the release version in the brackets next to the commit ref. This way, it not only identifies that the fix (or regression) is on the release/2.YY/master branch, it also disambiguates regressions/fixes in the branch from those in the tarball. Add a README to make it easier for consumers to understand the format. Additionally, the Release wiki needs to be updated to inform the release manager to: 1. Generate a NEWS snipped from the advisories directory AND 2. on release/2.YY/master, replace the advisories directory with a text file pointing to the advisories directory in master so that we don't have to update multiple locations.

* | Move CVE information into advisories directory | Siddhesh Poyarekar | 2023-12-07 | 1 | -0/+20 |
One of the requirements to becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is to publish advisories. Do this by maintaining a file for each CVE fixed in the advisories directory in the source tree. Links to the advisories can then be shared as: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob_plain;f=advisories/GLIBC-SA-YYYY-NNNN The file format at the moment is rudimentary and derives from the git commit format, i.e. a subject line and a potentially multi-paragraph description and then tags to describe some meta information. This is a loose format at the moment and could change as we evolve this. Also add a script process-fixed-cves.sh that processes these advisories and generates a list to add to NEWS at release time.
