when to post to security list?

Hi,

could anybody tell me in which case a security problem needs to be 
posted to security at apache.org? Is there a web page?

Thanks

Ortwin

Hi,
security@apache.org is general: they will delegate to the appropriate mailing
list, e.g. security@tomcat.apache.org, as needed.

Don't publish something before you run it by security@apache.org, please ;)

Yoav,

Sorry, stupid me didn't know security@apache was for httpd only. I guess 
then every project has to maintain it's own security mail address if it 
needs that. I also guess there is no central handling of security issues 
for all ASF projects. I further guess publishing of vulnerabilities is 
completely up to the committers. Correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers

Ortwin,
There are general guidelines at http://httpd.apache.org/security_report.html. 
Basically, if you suspect a security issue, let security@apache.org know.  Let
them worry about filtering it and possibly coming back to you with a message
like "no, this is not an issue, because..." ;)
