Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Ubuntu's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • We do not welcome active security probing of Canonical or Ubuntu infrastructure and services.
  • We would like exploits and proof of concept exploits to be held private for at least one week after fixes are published to allow our users adequate time to test and install updates before exploits are easily available.

Not accepted

  • Not all bugs are vulnerabilities.
  • We will not issue CVEs or fixes for software that is no longer supported.
