Hi all,
We currently receive reports from oss-fuzz to the Tomcat security list.
There is a relatively high volume of reports with a very high false
positive rate. To date, we haven't had any valid security issues reported.
Concern has been expressed that oss-fuzz is generating excessive noise
on the security list.
I'd like to propose the following solution, recently adopted by Apache
Commons.
1. Create a new, private mailing list: fuzz-testing@tomcat.a.o
2. This new list becomes the primary contact for oss-fuzz issues.
3. security@tomact.a.o remains on the CC but we disable notifications
unless the issue is explicitly starred
The new process would then be:
- issues reported to fuzz-testing@tomact.a.o
- interested PMC members subscribe to that list
- we triage issues (depending on volume this could become an issue)
- false positives are rejected
- bugs are fixed
- security issues are starred
this triggers notification of issue updates to the security list
- security issues are handled as per the usual process
Thoughts?
Mark
