And I have dedicated credit cards for certain types of purchases 14:19:23 Yeah, I add overhead to my life 14:19:50 I'm not saying it's dumb to protect your ID, by the way. 14:20:48 Okay, moving on 14:20:51 I'm fine with key-signing, but yes, I will be presenting a partially redacted ID if I participate 14:20:57 #topic Education and Training 14:21:10 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Information_Security_Training 14:21:36 If you know of anything that should go here please let me know. 14:22:33 It's a good collection, I only had one thing to add at this point, nice work! 14:22:39 that's a good list 14:23:02 Hopefully it's a useful resource 14:23:05 i could think of some non-free things (like specific classes from SANS) that might be helpful 14:23:23 There is also the Security Engineering book, and there are many free Online classes that I need to track down to add 14:23:51 There are also free SANS webinars, but they range in quality 14:24:17 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html 14:24:25 #link http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html 14:25:24 Cool 14:26:30 #topic Future of the Team 14:26:43 I had a nice chat with mattdm last week. 14:27:57 any outcomes? 14:27:58 We agree that the FST is an important part of Fedora 14:28:29 We want FST to start working on more projects and be the go-to group for all things security 14:29:07 This is includes the possibility of working on embargoed vulnerabilities 14:29:23 doesn't that overshadow Red Hat's Product Security team work? 14:29:30 No, 14:29:47 In fact, RH PST doesn't actually work on anything Fedora. 14:30:53 Fedora now has to wait for an embargo to be lifted for work to begin 14:30:58 I want to change that 14:31:14 Sparks: +1 14:31:26 Especially on Fedora-only or EPEL-only vulnerabilities 14:31:31 that'd be helpful 14:31:54 There is much work to do here, though. 14:32:31 Our tool chains don't support activities that don't leak information 14:32:51 it seems like we need a security-minded person embedded in some of the bigger sigs/working groups, like server/workstation/cloud 14:32:56 So we'll need to work on that 14:33:02 mhayden: +12 14:33:05 errr 14:33:07 +1 14:33:12 * mhayden has the server wg covered! :P 14:33:56 woot! 14:34:42 i like the mission and i think we need to get more involved where the action is happening 14:34:57 agreed 14:35:33 #idea Apprenticeship 14:35:34 i'd like to find an automated way to "nag" maintainers to update their bugzilla tickets + packages 14:36:08 We need a way to establish trust in individuals. 14:36:36 And we need to provide a way to train people 14:36:48 Sparks: individuals? Package maintaniners or FST members? 14:36:58 FST members 14:37:24 i will be continueing doing updated lives for the project so if we have anymore things hit like heartbleed new users can install after the fix is pushed and not be vulnerable 14:38:05 +1 14:38:27 Southern_Gentlem: +1 14:38:38 so you know whatever gets fixed at least is getting pushed 14:39:12 also, at a minimum, we need a talk at the next flock on the FST 14:39:30 and it might not hurt to try to get a post onto fedoramag once or twice per quarter 14:39:33 Where is the next Flock? 14:39:42 Sparks: i assume in Europe since it was in NA this year 14:40:07 i will probably need to pick between traveling for FOSDEM and Flock :| 14:40:49 #action Sparks to bring up apprenticeship on list 14:41:04 Unfortunately unless they are near where I live chances of me going or next to nill :-( 14:41:12 #action Sparks to talk more about the discussion with mattdm on the list 14:41:44 Sorry, I meant to send out a message regarding the meeting last week. 14:42:01 Okay, lets move on 14:42:08 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:42:17 #info Thursday's numbers: Critical 1 (0), Important 41 (+1), Moderate 454 (-3), Low 178 (+8), Total 674 14:42:30 #info Current tickets owned: 85 14:42:38 +Tickets by Priority--+-------+---------+ 14:42:38 | Priority | Count | Owned | Unowned | 14:42:38 +-------------+-------+-------+---------+ 14:42:38 | medium | 454 | 45 | 409 | 14:42:38 | low | 178 | 14 | 164 | 14:42:40 | high | 41 | 26 | 15 | 14:42:43 | unspecified | 3 | 0 | 3 | 14:42:45 | urgent | 1 | 0 | 1 | 14:42:48 +-------------+-------+-------+---------+ 14:42:50 Anyone have anything? 14:43:02 What's the urgent one? 14:43:25 IDK. I thought I had found it and made it not urgent. Maybe it's a new one? 14:43:53 wierd, nothing in bugzilla 14:43:57 Which is why I want better notification of urgent and high (critical and important) vulns. 14:44:18 mhayden: Is your script stuck? 14:44:43 let me print out the ticket that is causing the urgent to show 14:46:09 1266404 14:46:22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266404 14:46:35 why is that one showing up in the Fedora list? 14:46:37 * mhayden digs 14:46:53 weird, well at least it's on QA :-) 14:47:03 It's a RHEL bug 14:47:04 SecurityTracking is in the keywords 14:47:12 that's unusual for RHEL bugs IIRC 14:47:31 Yeah. Need to make sure you're limiting on Product: Fedora, too 14:48:04 * mhayden edits 14:48:16 haha, oh my 14:48:32 i wonder if limiting on Fedora drops EPEL 14:48:33 Fedora EPEL as well (or Fedora * ) 14:49:01 okay, script needs tweaking :) 14:49:31 That's fine. 14:50:10 #topic FST Logo 14:50:13 https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/367/fst.png 14:50:31 I hope everyone will provide feedback 14:50:36 Oh, had onemore ticket question, but can cover in open discussion 14:50:48 Opps, sorry 14:50:55 #topic Open floor discussion/questions/comments 14:50:58 d-caf: Go 14:51:16 This ticket, should it be given a priority? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220138 14:51:57 or severity 14:52:44 d-caf: I just marked it as a "high" since one of the dependencies was a "high" CVE 14:53:06 There is also another ticket taht is marked high, but with no priority so shows in unknown 14:53:15 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209214 14:53:49 Wondering if we should check on priority and severity? Or what is the true meaning between those seperate ratings? 14:53:51 We need to make sure that all the unspecified tickets get a severity and that if it's an actual vulnerability that it gets a CVE via secalert@redhat.com 14:53:51 so the first bug #1220138 is a "add mono 4 to f22" ? 14:54:31 Well the first bug is they are using an old mono that has lots of issues, and there proposed fix is updating to mono 4 14:54:47 I have not tracked down the full status of this and how bad it may be 14:54:53 d-caf: I think priority is set by the project but severity of a vulnerability should be impact as provided by the CVSS score via RH PST. 14:54:54 correct security team report -> http://paste.fedoraproject.org/289651/73400771/raw/ 14:55:12 Just noticed two unspecified tickets and decided to look at it this morning 14:55:20 #link http://paste.fedoraproject.org/289651/73400771/raw/ 14:55:36 Oh crap 14:55:41 d-caf: according to the referenced (closed) bug (#1089426) mono 4 is already in f23 14:55:59 We need someone to start going through the F21 bugs and see if we need to move them forward to F22 or higher. 14:56:02 * Sparks did that last time 14:56:14 Astradeus: Good, but F22 still may need the same update 14:56:21 Anyone want to handle that? 14:57:37 Okay, I'll send that to the list 14:58:03 We probably also need to udpate our links here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security_Team to go off severity and not priority? 14:58:20 #action Sparks to send a note to the list regarding to updating f21 tickets 14:58:41 Since this is comming up unknown, but is rated high severity https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209214 14:58:57 Also need to check reporting scripts are doing the same 14:59:22 ya 14:59:30 Okay, last few seconds... anyone have anything? 15:00:41 Okay, lets move these discussions to the list 15:00:52 Thanks, everone, for coming! 15:00:53 thanks all :) 15:00:57 Sparks: thanks all! 15:00:59 #endmeeting
