We disclose all security vulnerabilities we find or are advised about that are relevant for ARM Trusted Firmware (TF). We encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities and inform users as best we can about all possible issues.
We disclose TF vulnerabilities as Security Advisories. These are listed at the bottom of this page and announced as issues in the GitHub issue tracker with the "security-advisory" tag. You can receive notification emails for these by watching that project.
Although we try to keep TF secure, we can only do so with the help of the community of developers and security researchers.
If you think you have found a security vulnerability, please do not report it in the GitHub issue tracker. Instead send an email to [email protected]
Please include:
- Trusted Firmware version (or commit) affected
- A description of the concern or vulnerability
- Details on how to replicate the vulnerability, including:
- Configuration details
- Proof of concept exploit code
- Any additional software or tools required
We recommend using this PGP/GPG key for encrypting the information. This key is also available at http://keyserver.pgp.com and LDAP port 389 of the same server. The fingerprint for this key is:
1309 2C19 22B4 8E87 F17B FE5C 3AB7 EFCB 45A0 DFD0
If you would like replies to be encrypted, please provide your public key.
Please give us the time to respond to you and fix the vulnerability before going public. We do our best to respond and fix any issues quickly. We also need to ensure providers of products that use TF have a chance to consider the implications of the vulnerability and its remedy.
Afterwards, we encourage you to write-up your findings about the TF source code.
We will name and thank you in the change-log.rst distributed with the source
code and in any published security advisory.
