+# Debian Security Tracker 
+
+About
+-----
+
+Everything in the [Debian Security Tracker](https://security-tracker.debian.org/) is publicly available, as in
+"[Debian doesn't hide problems](https://www.debian.org/social_contract)" available. 
+
+The best thing about our tracking *system* is that it is very basic.
+There is no horrible overhead of web-based ticket/issue trackers, its
+just a subversion repository and some text files that we
+collaboratively edit and then some scripts to parse these files and
+generate useful reports available online. Everything is designed to be
+very simple to use, transparent and easy to see what other people are
+working on so you can work on other things.
+
+Gentle Introduction
+--------------------
+
+This following will give you a basic walk-through of how the files are
+structured and how we do our work tracking issues. 
+
+The best way to understand is to check out our repository from
+Subversion so you have the files on your computer and can follow along
+at home. To do this you just need to do the following:
+
+    svn co svn+ssh://<alioth user name>@svn.debian.org/svn/secure-testing
+
+This will check out the working repository (given that you already have
+an [Alioth](https://alioth.debian.org/account/register.php) account and [public key authentication already set up](http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH).  After successfully downloading,
+you will have a new directory called `secure-testing`.  Inside this directory
+are a number of subdirectories.  The `data` directory is where we do most of
+our work.
+
+Note that the name of the Subversion repository is historical;
+the tracker is not specially related to testing-security, but for Debian
+security at large.
+
+If you don't have an Alioth account, [you can create one](https://alioth.debian.org/account/register.php). You can then join [the team](https://alioth.debian.org/projects/secure-testing) by clicking the [*Request to join* link](https://alioth.debian.org/project/request.php?group_id=30437).
+
+If you don't need write access, you can of course check out our files
+without an Alioth account as well:
+
+    svn co svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/secure-testing
+
+If you are a git fan, you can also use git-svn. Once you have the
+git-svn package installed, you can clone the subversion repository into
+your own local git repository with:
+
+    git svn clone svn+ssh://<alioth user account>@svn.debian.org/svn/secure-testing
+
+Note that this will take a very long time (expect over two hours) since
+every commit from the very beginning (over 12,000 at this point) is
+checked out individually and merged into your git repository.
+
+### Subversion and git-svn Crash Course
+
+
+The following table lists the most common/useful commands for working
+with the secure-testing repository:
+
+  subversion       | git-svn           | action
+  -----------------|-------------------|------------------------------
+  `svn update`     | `git svn rebase`  | sync your local repo from remote secure-testing repo
+  `svn commit`     | `git svn dcommit` | commit your changes to the remote secure-testing repo (note that `git commit -a` only updates your local repo)
+  `svn diff`       | `git diff`        | compare your local repo to remote secure-testing repo
+
+The CVE list (`CVE/list`)
+------------------------
+
+### Automatic Issue Updates
+
+Twice a day a cronjob runs that pulls down the latest full [CVE](glossary.html#CVE) lists
+from [Mitre](glossary.html#mitre), this automatically gets checked into `data/CVE/list`, and
+also syncs that file with other lists like `data/DSA/list` and
+`data/DTSA/list`.
+
+These and every SVN commit is notified via either the [secure-testing-commits mailing list](http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/secure-testing-commits)
+or via the [KGB bot](http://packages.debian.org/sid/kgb-bot) on #debian-security on [OFTC](http://irc.oftc.net/). For example, the bot
+will say in the channel:
+
+    17:14 < KGB-0> joeyh r21191 data/CVE/list * automatic update
+
+Most of our work is taking the new issues that Mitre releases and
+processing them so that the tracking data is correct. Read on for how we
+do this.
+
+### Processing `TODO` entries
+
+The Mitre update typically manifests in new CVE entries. So what we do
+is to update our svn repository and then edit `data/CVE/list` and look
+for new `TODO` entries. These will often be in blocks of 10-50 or so,
+depending on how many new issues they have assigned.
+
+Processing `TODO` entries means check if the problem affects Debian and
+to which packages, as well as, evaluate their severity. This information
+is based on *research* and not just in the CVE description in order to
+to prevent integrating false-positives or incorrect data in the security 
+tracker. For example, if the CVE id says that something is 
+vulnerable prior to version X you need to check if that is 
+the case as well as for the information given on 
+distro-specific issues. Always make sure you understand the 
+issue and are able to verify the information is correct.
+
+So, a proper research should include reading the code, finding 
+fixes/commits in the upstream repository or even write 
+patches yourself if you have the time to do that. If you 
+can't assure that please add a `TODO` entry reflecting what is 
+missing from your research. Check the section [`NOTE` and `TODO`
+entries](#NoteTodo) for more details.
+
+If you are aware of an error in some CVE description, please
+write to [oss-security mailing-list](glossary.html#oss-sec) cc-ing team@security.d.o.
+
+### Issues `NOT-FOR-US` (NFU)
+
+Processing entries is done by first seeing if the issue is related to any
+software packaged in Debian. If it isn't a package in Debian and has no
+[ITP/RFP](https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l2) then you note that in the file with a `NOT-FOR-US:` tag. Third-party
+modules not yet packaged for Debian are also tagged as NFU; even if their
+parent software is packaged for Debian. The module names should be
+mentioned in the NFU note in order to make issues apparent if that module
+should ever receive a proper package.  Another case are meta packages
+that only provide a downloader (e.g. flashplugin-nonfree). There is no
+way to mark such packages as we have no influence on the version and
+technically the code is not present in Debian.
+
+Example:
+
+    CVE-2005-3018 (Apple Safari allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ...)
+       NOT-FOR-US: Safari
+
+Before marking a package NFU, the following should be done:
+
+   - Read the full CVE description to determine the product name
+   - Search for the product using apt-cache search <name>
+   - If a file was referenced, search for the file using
+      `apt-file search <name>`
+   - Search the [WNPP list](http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/) to see
+      if the product has an ITP or RFP (see [ITP/RFP packages](#ItpRfp) below)
+   - Search the [ftp-master removal list](http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals-full.txt)
+      or the [Package
+      Tracking System](http://packages.qa.debian.org/) to see if the
+      package was present in the past but was removed (see [Removed 
+      packages](#removed) below)
+
+If there is any doubt, add a `NOTE` with your findings and/or ask others to
+double check using `TODO` (see [`NOTE` and `TODO` entries](#NoteTodo) below)
+
+There is a tool that helps with sorting out all the NOT-FOR-US issues: 
+See "bin/check-new-issues -h". For the search functions in 
+check-new-issues to work, you need to have unstable in your 
+sources.list and have done `apt-get update` and `apt-file update`. 
+Having libterm-readline-gnu-perl installed helps, too. If you are not
+running unstable, you can search at [http://packages.debian.org](http://packages.debian.org) or
+set up an [unstable chroot](http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch09#_chroot_system).
+
+### Packages in the archive
+
+If the vulnerability refers to a package in the Debian archive, look
+to see if the package is affected or not (sometimes newer versions that
+have the fixes have already been uploaded).
+
+If the version has been fixed already, note the package name and the
+Debian version that fixes it and assign a severity level to it, for
+example:
+
+    CVE-2005-2596 (User.php in Gallery, as used in Postnuke, allows users with any Admin ...)
+       - gallery 1.5-2 (medium)
+
+Even if the CVE description mentions it is fixed as of a particular
+version, double-check the Debian package yourself (because sometimes 
+the CVE descriptions or information from databases like Secunia is 
+incorrect).
+
+If it hasn't been fixed, we determine if there has been a bug filed
+about the issue, and if not, file one and then note it in the list
+(again with a severity level):
+
+    CVE-2005-3054 (fopen_wrappers.c in PHP 4.4.0, and possibly other versions, does not ...)
+       - php4 <unfixed> (bug #353585; medium)
+       - php5 <unfixed> (bug #353585; medium)
+
+Bug numbers can be added as in the example above. To avoid duplicate bugs,
+`bug filed` can be added instead of `bug #123456` when the bug report has
+been sent but the bug number is not yet known (however, it is more 
+desirable to file the bug, wait for the BTS to assign a number, then update 
+the entry in the CVE list so that complete information is always available
+in the tracker).  The bug number is important because it makes it clear
+that the maintainer has been contacted about the problem, and that they are 
+aware of their responsibility to work swiftly toward a fix.
+
+Since CVEs often drop in bulk, submission of multiple CVEs in a single bug
+report is permissible and encouraged. However, some maintainers have 
+indicated a preference for only one issue per bug report.  The following 
+is a list of packages for which each CVE should be reported separately:
+
+ - php5
+ - libav
+ - pwgen
+
+A special exception is made for kernel related issues. The kernel-sec group
+will take care of them. It is not necessary to file bugs in the BTS for kernel
+security issues, it only causes overhead.
+
+If you want to report a bug, bin/report-vuln might be helpful in creating
+the bug report.
+
+If a vulnerability does not affect Debian, e.g. because the vulnerable
+code is not contained, it is marked as <not-affected>:
+
+    CVE-2004-2628 (Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in thttpd 2.07 beta 0.4, ...)
+        - thttpd <not-affected> (Windows-specific vulnerabilities)
+
+`<not-affected>` is also used if a vulnerability was fixed before a
+package was uploaded into the Debian archive.
+
+
+### Undetermined Tags
+
+If you don't have time to fully research an issue, but it is abundantly
+clear (via CVE text or other announcement) that the issue affects a
+particular package or set of packages, the <undetermined> tag can be
+used.  This has the advantage of entering the issue earlier in the
+output of debsecan and on the PTS pages, which is useful for the small
+set of proactive maintainers paying attention to these information
+sources.  Getting the maintainer involved hopefully prompts faster
+fixes.  This also allows enables tracking of multiple packages, some
+of which may already be fixed.  
+
+`<undetermined>` can also be used when there simply is not enough
+information disclosed in the existing known references about the
+issue.  Essentially, `<undetermined>` indicates that someone needs
+to come back and revisit the issue.  An example undetermined
+entry is:
+
+    CVE-2011-2351 (Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 12.0.742.112 ...)
+        - chromium-browser 12.0.742.112~r90304-1
+        - webkit <undetermined>
+        NOTE: webkit commit #123456
+
+The list of all of currently undetermined issues is aggregated [by the tracker](http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/undetermined).
+This is a good place for new contributors to get started since these
+are issues that can be pruned quickly for new information that may
+not have been known during the initial disclosure, and thus marked
+<unfixed> for further work or closed with a version number.  Please
+add notes if you do change an undetermined issue to unfixed (unless
+you're also fixing the issue in the process, which is of course the
+ideal way to help/contribute).
+
+### <a id="ItpRfp">Issues in ITP and/or RFP packages</a>
+
+If an issue is discovered in a package that has an RFP or ITP already filed,
+then that is also noted in order to track the problem, and make sure it is
+resolved before the package enters the archive.  These issues are marked with
+the <itp> tag.  Note this includes both ITPs and RFPs since (from a security
+tracking standpoint) there is no advantage in tracking them in separate ways.
+An example entry for an ITP/RFP package is:
+
+    CVE-2004-2525 (Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in compat.php in Serendipity ...)
+        - serendipity <itp> (bug #312413)
+
+### Reserved entries
+
+Several security problems have coordinated dates of public disclosure,
+i.e. a CVE identifier has been assigned to a problem, but it's not
+public yet. Also, several vendors have a pool of CVE ids they can
+assign to problems that are detected in their products. Such entries
+are marked as `RESERVED` in the tracker:
+
+    CVE-2005-1432
+        RESERVED
+
+### Rejected entries
+
+Sometimes there are CVE assignments that later turn out to be duplicates,
+mistakes or non-issues. These items are reverted and turned into `REJECTED`
+entries:
+
+    CVE-2005-4129
+        REJECTED
+
+### <a id="removed">Removed packages</a>
+
+Sometimes there are cases, where a vulnerability hasn't been fixed with
+a code change, but simply by deciding that a package is that broken that
+it needs to be removed from the archive entirely. This is tracked with
+the `<removed>` tag:
+
+    CVE-2005-1435 (Open WebMail (OWM) before 2.51 20050430 allows remote authenticated ...)
+        - openwebmail <removed>
+
+Also note that it is sufficient to mark a package as removed in unstable.
+The tracker is aware of which package is present in which distribution
+and marks other distributions that still contain the package automagically
+as unfixed.  For example, if libxml is in oldstable, but not stable or
+unstable, then:
+
+	- libxml <removed>
+
+will track oldstable as affected, but stable and unstable as `not-affected`.
+
+Once a package has been completely removed from all currently supported
+debian releases, it should be tracked in the `data/packages/removed-packages`
+file.  This file lists all packages (one source package per line) that were
+at one time in a debian release, but no longer exist in any supported
+version.  Additions to this file can be used to address failing consistency
+checks after a new release.
+
+### end-of-life packages
+
+In some rare cases (i.e. webprowsers) security support for some packages
+needed to be stopped before the end of the regular security maintenance
+life cycle.
+
+Packages which are not anymore supported by the security team in a
+(old-stable release are marked with the end-of-life tag:
+
+    CVE-2011-3973 (cavsdec.c in libavcodec in FFmpeg before 0.7.4 and 0.8.x before 0.8.3 ...)
+	{DSA-2336-1}
+	- libav 4:0.7.1-7 (bug #641478)
+	- ffmpeg <removed>
+	- ffmpeg-debian <end-of-life>
+
+
+#### <a id="NoteTodo">`NOTE` and `TODO` entries</a>
+
+There are many instances where more work has to be done to determine
+if something is affected, and you might not be able to do this at the
+time. These entries can have their TODO line changed to something
+descriptive so that it is clear what remains to be done. For example:
+
+    CVE-2005-3990 (Directory traversal vulnerability in FastJar 0.93 allows remote ...)
+	TODO: check, whether fastjar from the gcc source packages is affected
+
+If you are not sure about some decision (e.g. which package is affected) or
+triaging (e.g. bug severity) you can leave a TODO note for reviewing, 
+explaining which aspect have to be reviewed. For example:
+
+    CVE-2013-7295 (Tor before 0.2.4.20, when OpenSSL 1.x is used in ...)
+        - tor 0.2.4.20-1 (low)
+        [wheezy] - tor <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
+        TODO: review, severity. The exploitation scenario is too complicated.
+
+It is also useful to add information to issues as you find it, so that
+when others go to look at an issue and want to know why you marked it
+as you did, or need a reference, it will be there. The more
+information left, the better. For example, the following entry lets
+you know that CVE-2005-3258 doesn't affect the squid that we have
+because the issue was introduced in a patch that was never applied to
+the Debian package:
+
+    CVE-2005-3258 (The rfc1738_do_escape function in ftp.c for Squid 2.5 STABLE11 and ...)
+        - squid <not-affected> (bug #334882; medium)
+        NOTE: Bug was introduced in a patch to squid-2.5.STABLE10,
+        NOTE: this patch was never applied to the Debian package.
+
+Severity levels
+---------------
+
+These levels are mostly used to prioritize the order in which security
+problems are resolved. Anyway, we have a rough overview on how you should
+assess these levels. 
+
+**unimportant**: This problem does not affect the Debian binary package, e.g.
+             a vulnerable source file, which is not built, a vulnerable file
+	     in `doc/foo/examples/`, PHP Safe mode bugs, path disclosure (doesn't
+	     matter on Debian).
+	     All "non-issues in practice" fall also into this category, like
+	     issues only "exploitable" if the code in question is setuid root,
+	     exploits which only work if someone already has administrative
+	     privileges or similar.
+
+**low**    : A security problem, which has only mild security implications
+             (local DoS, `/tmp` file races and so on).
+
+**medium** : For anything which permits code execution after user interaction.
+	     Local privilege escalation vulnerabilities are in this category as
+	     well, or remote privilege escalation if it's constrained to the
+	     application (i.e. no shell access to the underlying system, such
+	     as simple cross-site scripting). Most remote DoS vulnerabilities
+	     fall into this category, too.
+
+**high**   : A typical, exploitable security problem, which you'll really
+             like to fix or at least implement a workaround. This could
+             be because the vulnerable code is very broadly used, because
+             an exploit is in the wild or because the attack vector is
+             very wide. 
+	     Should be put into that category anything that permits an attacker
+	     to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system (with or
+	     without root privileges) and high-impact denial-of-service bugs
+	     (for instance, an IPv4 forwarding path vulnerability which
+	     requires only very few packets to exploit).
+	     Significant defects in security software can be rated "high" as
+	     well (for instance, a vulnerability in a piece of cryptographic
+	     software which flags forged digital signatures as genuine).
+
+Certain packages may get higher or lower rating than usual, based on
+their importance.
+
+### Vulnerabilities without an assigned CVE id
+
+If you learn of a vulnerability to which has not been assigned a CVE id yet you request one.
+To request a CVE for public issues, you can
+[write to the moderated oss-security list](http://people.redhat.com/kseifrie/CVE-OpenSource-Request-HOWTO.html#How%20to%20make%20a%20public%20request:).
+In the meantime, you can add an entry of the form
+
+    CVE-2009-XXXX [optipng array overflow]
+	- optipng 0.6.2.1-1 (low)
+	NOTE: http://secunia.com/advisories/34035/
+
+It is desirable to include references
+which uniquely identify the issue, such as a permanent link to an
+entry in the upstream bug tracker, or a bug in the Debian BTS.  If the
+issue is likely present in unstable, a bug should be filed to help the
+maintainer to track it.
+
+Lack of CVE entries should not block advisory publication which are
+otherwise ready, but we should strive to release fully
+cross-referenced advisories nevertheless.
+
+CVE pool from Debian
+--------------------
+
+Debian can only assign CVE names from its own pool for issues which
+are not public.  To request a CVE from the Debian pool, write to
+<team@security.debian.org> and include a description which follows CVE
+conventions.
+
+Distribution tags
+-----------------
+
+Our data is primarily targeted at sid, as we track the version that
+a certain issue was fixed in sid. The Security Tracker web site (see
+below) derives information about the applicability of a vulnerability
+to stable and oldstable from the list of DSAs issued by the security
+team and the fact that a source package is part of a release.
+Distribution tags can be used to denote information about a vulnerability
+for the version of a package in a specific release. An example:
+
+    CVE-2005-3974 (Drupal 4.5.0 through 4.5.5 and 4.6.0 through 4.6.3, when running on ...)
+        - drupal 4.5.6-1 (low)
+        [sarge] - drupal <not-affected> (Only vulnerable if running PHP 5)
+
+Drupal has been fixed since 4.5.6, however Drupal from Sarge still isn't
+vulnerable as the vulnerability is only effective when run under PHP 5,
+which isn't part of Sarge.
+
+When a vulnerability is fixed in (oldstable-)proposed-updates, it is added
+to `next-(oldstable-)point-update.txt` and only added to `CVE/list` after the
+point release (during which the `no-dsa` entry is removed).
+
+Generated Reports
+-----------------
+
+All of this tracking information gets automatically parsed and
+compared against madison to determine what has been fixed and what is
+still waiting, this results in this website:
+
+[http://security-tracker.debian.org/](http://security-tracker.debian.org/)
+
+It incorporates package lists and parses distribution lists and can
+thus be used to
+
+- Present the security history of a package
+- Provide overviews of vulnerable packages in stable, testing, sid and
+  oldstable (it still has some false positives, wrt packages in
+  stable that are present in stable, but not vulnerable, these need to
+  be triaged individually).
+- Generate a list of packages that are subject to security problems, but
+  stuck in testing migration due to problems with the dependency chain
+  and thus candidates for a DTSA
+- Generate a list of TODO issues that need to be addressed
+- Generate a list of packages that will enter Debian soon and need to
+  be checked for security problems
+- Generate a list of provisional IDs that need to be turned into proper
+  CVE entries
+- Show some potential problems in the data pool (e.g. misspelled package
+  names not found in the packages list, or potentially missing epochs)
+
+For every security problem it displays
+
+- The CVE information
+- A severity assessment by NVD
+- Cross references to DTSAs, DSAs and bugs in the BTS
+- The status of a security problem in stable, oldstable, testing and sid
+- Additional notes from our tracker
+
+The DSA list (`DSA/list`)
+-----------------------
+
+We maintain a list of all DSA advisories issued by the stable security
+team. This information is used to derive information about the state
+of security problems for the stable and oldstable distribution. An
+entry for a DSA looks like this:
+
+[21 Nov 2005] DSA-903-1 unzip - race condition
+        {CVE-2005-2475}
+        [woody] - unzip 5.50-1woody4
+        [sarge] - unzip 5.52-1sarge2
+        NOTE: fixed in testing at time of DSA
+
+The first line tracks the date, when a DSA was issued, the DSA
+identifier, the affected source package and the type of vulnerability.
+The second line performs a cross-reference to the entry in `CVE/list`
+that maintains the state of the vulnerability in sid. Every entry that
+is added like this to `DSA/list` is parsed by a script and automatically
+added to `CVE/list`.  The next lines contain the fixes for stable and
+optionally oldstable, addressed with distribution tags.  You may add
+`NOTE:` entries freely, we use a `NOTE` entry for statistical purposes
+that tracks, when a fix has reached testing relative to the time when
+it hit stable.
+
+There is no need to add anything to `CVE/list` for a DSA, the DSA
+cross-reference will be added automatically by the cron job. However,
+you do need to add `[lenny]` or `[squeeze]` entries to `CVE/list` when there
+is a `no-dsa` or `not-affected` condition.
+
+Checking in your changes
+------------------------
+
+After thoroughly researching each issue (as described above) and editing
+the relevant files, commit your changes. Peer review is done via the 
+mailing list and IRC notifications (see "Automatic Issue Updates" above).
+However, changes to the tracker website itself (e.g. the files in lib/*
+and bin/tracker_service.py) should be vetted and approved before being
+committed. The preferred way to do this is to send a patch to: 
+debian-security-tracker@lists.debian.org mailing list.
+
+Commits are checked for syntax errors before they are actually committed,
+and you'll receive an error and your commit is aborted if it is in error.
+To check your changes yourself beforehand, use "make check-syntax" from
+the root of the svn directory.
+
+Following up on security issues
+-------------------------------
+
+By simply loading this page and doing a little gardening of the
+different issues many things can be done. One thing is that you can
+read all the bug reports of each issue and see if new information has
+been added to the end that might provide updated or changed
+information (such as if an issue has been closed, or a version of the
+package has been uploaded that contains the fix). It is also useful to
+follow-up on the issues to prod the maintainer to deal with the issue,
+which they may have forgotten about.
+
+
+Tracking of security bugs in the BTS and linking them to a user tag by CVE
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There's an automated tagging of security-related bugs to CVE IDs through
+the user tag security for the user debian-security@lists.debian.org
+
+All bugs added to the tracker are automatically tagged. You can use
+the search [here](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=security;users=debian-security@lists.debian.org;exclude=tracked)
+to find all bugs not yet present in the tracker.
+
+All bug numbers added to the tracked are automatically associated
+to the relevant user tag.
+
+If you checked an issue which doesn't need to be added to the tracked
+(e.g. because it's not security-relevant or otherwise bogus you can either
+remove the security tag from the bugs or send a mail to control@bugs.debian.org
+with the following content:
+
+    user debian-security@lists.debian.org
+    usertag $BUGNUM + tracked
+
+Contributing with the security tracker code
+-------------------------------------------
+**TODO**
+
+Setting up a local testing instance
+===================================
+
+It is possible to set up an instance of the security tracker in your own machine for testing purposes.
+The following packages are needed:
+
+    make
+    python
+    python-apt
+    python-apsw
+
+The following commands build the databases for stable and run a python local server in port 10605:
+
+    make update-stable
+    make
+    make serve
+
+The website is now available in `http://127.0.0.1:10605/tracker/`.
