From: Michał Kępień Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 04:02:34 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Handle CVE reproducers along with fixes X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3f770938df9bee8c788ec6b787b01e3471b1d818;p=thirdparty%2Fbind9.git Handle CVE reproducers along with fixes With AI agents widely available, delaying CVE reproducer publication no longer provides any benefit, as feeding a patch with a fix to a large language model can produce a usable exploit. Revise the CVE checklist to ensure the reproducer and the fix are pushed to the same merge request (as separate commits) and remove the post-disclosure step for regression test publishing. --- diff --git a/.gitlab/issue_templates/Internal_use_only-CVE.md b/.gitlab/issue_templates/Internal_use_only-CVE.md index 26b2d76ec78..b8f93afd9fb 100644 --- a/.gitlab/issue_templates/Internal_use_only-CVE.md +++ b/.gitlab/issue_templates/Internal_use_only-CVE.md @@ -40,10 +40,10 @@ confidential! - [ ] [:link:][step_earliest_prepare] **(Support)** Prepare "earliest" notification text - [ ] [:link:][step_earliest_send] **(Support)** Update "earliest" notification ticket in support portal Earliest queue which will notify earliest customers - [ ] [:link:][step_advisory_mr] **(Support)** Create a merge request for the Security Advisory and include all readily available information in it - - [ ] [:link:][step_reproducer_mr] **(SwEng)** Prepare a private merge request containing a system test reproducing the problem + - [ ] [:link:][step_reproducer] **(SwEng)** Prepare a private merge request containing a system test reproducing the problem - [ ] [:link:][step_notify_support] **(SwEng)** Notify Support when a reproducer is ready - [ ] [:link:][step_code_analysis] **(SwEng)** Prepare a detailed explanation of the code flow triggering the problem - - [ ] [:link:][step_fix_mr] **(SwEng)** Prepare a private merge request with the fix + - [ ] [:link:][step_fix] **(SwEng)** Prepare a fix and push it as a separate commit to the merge request with the reproducer - [ ] [:link:][step_review_fix] **(SwEng)** Ensure the merge request with the fix is reviewed and has no outstanding discussions - [ ] [:link:][step_review_docs] **(Support)** Review the documentation changes introduced by the merge request with the fix - [ ] [:link:][step_backports] **(SwEng)** Prepare backports of the merge request addressing the problem for all affected (and still maintained) branches of a given product @@ -84,10 +84,6 @@ confidential! - [ ] [:link:][step_evn_clear] **(Support)** Update the tickets in the EVN queues in RT that the embargo is lifted - [ ] [:link:][step_customers] **(Marketing)** Ensure that a ticket has been sent in the appropriate announce queue in RT to notify customers that the release is published (as outlined in the release checklist) -### After Public Disclosure - - - [ ] [:link:][step_regression] **(QA)** Merge a regression test reproducing the bug into all affected (and still maintained) branches - [step_deputy]: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-private/isc-wiki/-/wikis/Security-Incident-Handling-Checklist-Explanations#pick-a-deputy-incident-manager [step_respond]: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-private/isc-wiki/-/wikis/Security-Incident-Handling-Checklist-Explanations#respond-to-the-bug-reporter [step_public_mrs]: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-private/isc-wiki/-/wikis/Security-Incident-Handling-Checklist-Explanations#ensure-there-are-no-public-merge-requests-which-inadvertently-disclose-the-issue @@ -99,10 +95,10 @@ confidential!
