Reporting security issues in Qubes OS
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
Please note: The Qubes security team email address is intended for
|
||
responsible disclosure by security researchers and others who
|
||
discover legitimate security vulnerabilities. It is not intended for
|
||
everyone who suspects they’ve been hacked. Please do not attempt to
|
||
contact the Qubes security team unless you can demonstrate an actual
|
||
security vulnerability or unless the team will be able to take
|
||
reasonable steps to verify your claims.
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you’ve discovered a security issue affecting Qubes OS, either
|
||
directly or indirectly (e.g., the issue affects Xen in a configuration
|
||
that is used in Qubes OS), then we would be more than happy to hear from
|
||
you! We promise to take all reported issues seriously. If our
|
||
investigation confirms that an issue affects Qubes, we will patch it
|
||
within a reasonable time and release a public `Qubes security bulletin (QSB) <https://www.qubes-os.org/security/qsb/>`__ that describes the issue, discusses the
|
||
potential impact of the vulnerability, references applicable patches or
|
||
workarounds, and credits the discoverer. Please use the `Qubes security team PGP key <https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-os-security-team-key.asc>`__
|
||
to encrypt your email to this address:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: bash
|
||
|
||
security at qubes-os dot org
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This key is signed by the `Qubes Master Signing Key <https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc>`__.
|
||
Please see :doc:`verifying signatures </project-security/verifying-signatures>`
|
||
for information about how to authenticate these keys.
|
||
|
||
Security updates
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
Qubes security updates are obtained by :doc:`updating Qubes OS </user/how-to-guides/how-to-update>`.
|
||
|
||
Qubes security team
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
The **Qubes security team (QST)** is the subset of the `core team <https://www.qubes-os.org/team/#core-team>`__ that is responsible for ensuring the security
|
||
of Qubes OS and the Qubes OS Project. In particular, the QST is
|
||
responsible for:
|
||
|
||
- Responding to `reported security issues <#reporting-security-issues-in-qubes-os>`__
|
||
|
||
- Evaluating whether `XSAs <https://www.qubes-os.org/security/xsa/>`__ affect the security of
|
||
Qubes OS
|
||
|
||
- Writing, applying, and/or distributing security patches to fix
|
||
vulnerabilities in Qubes OS
|
||
|
||
- Writing, signing, and publishing `Qubes security bulletins (QSBs) <https://www.qubes-os.org/security/qsb/>`__
|
||
|
||
- Writing, signing, and publishing `Qubes canaries <https://www.qubes-os.org/security/canary/>`__
|
||
|
||
- Generating, safeguarding, and using the project’s `PGP keys <https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/>`__
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a security-oriented operating system, the QST is fundamentally
|
||
important to Qubes, and every Qubes user implicitly trusts the members
|
||
of the QST by virtue of the actions listed above.
