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. Signed-off-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org> --- Changes from v2: - Used Florian's suggested tags to record commits, backports and releases. The only change I made to it was to use (2.39) instead of (pre-2.39) for the Fix-Commit tag, retaining pre- only for Vulnerable-Commit. This should technically only occur when there are multiple Vulnerable-Backport tags. - Adapted process-fixed-cves.sh to use this to generate CVE lists for NEWS.
