Process
=====
If you think you have found an Mbed TLS security vulnerability, then please send an email to the security team at [[mailto:mbed-tls-security@lists.trustedfirmware.org]]. For more information on the reporting and disclosure process, please see the [[ https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/security_center/reporting/ | TrustedFirmware.org security incident handling process ]]. There are some caveats to that process when applied to Mbed TLS, as listed below:
# Mbed TLS currently does not have any registered ESSes and so there is no primary embargo period.
# Mbed TLS contains strong cryptography software and to comply with export control restrictions, must only distribute software publicly. As a result, security fixes cannot be shared privately with Trusted Stakeholders, although other vulnerability information can be.
# The nature of Mbed TLS often means that security fixes reveal enough information for a skilled attacker to re-construct the originally reported exploit. This combined with the previous caveat means we often expect to have to withhold security fixes until the public disclosure date.
# Mbed TLS is subject to a lot of scrutiny by security researchers who often have their own disclosure timelines when reporting vulnerabilities. As a result, the default 90 days public embargo period may often not apply.
Advisories
=======
Mbed TLS security advisories are currently listed in the old Mbed TLS website [[ https://tls.mbed.org/security | here ]]. These will be migrated to TrustedFirmware.org in due course.
