Some people have already heard about the new Security Team making the rounds on BZ trying to clean up vulnerabilities that still linger within our OS. Until today I’ve not said much as I was waiting to see how successful we’d be at trying to remedy some of these situations. Turns out I had nothing to fear. So with that I formally announce the Security Team to Fedora and open the doors to all that are interested.
== What are we doing? ==
The Security Team’s mission is to assist packagers in closing security vulnerabilities. Once alerted to a vulnerability on a package, the security team can help work with upstream to obtain a patch or a new release of a package. Once we have a patch or a new release we attach it to the vulnerability bug and work with packagers to get the fix pushed.
