| +* I think I've found a bug, what should I do?
|
| +
|
| +If you are a new user then it is quite likely you haven't found a bug and
|
| +something is happening you aren't familiar with. Check this FAQ, the associated
|
| +documentation and the mailing lists for similar queries. If you are still
|
| +unsure whether it is a bug or not submit a query to the openssl-users mailing
|
| +list.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +* I'm SURE I've found a bug, how do I report it?
|
| +
|
| +Bug reports with no security implications should be sent to the request
|
| +tracker. This can be done by mailing the report to <rt@openssl.org> (or its
|
| +alias <openssl-bugs@openssl.org>), please note that messages sent to the
|
| +request tracker also appear in the public openssl-dev mailing list.
|
| +
|
| +The report should be in plain text. Any patches should be sent as
|
| +plain text attachments because some mailers corrupt patches sent inline.
|
| +If your issue affects multiple versions of OpenSSL check any patches apply
|
| +cleanly and, if possible include patches to each affected version.
|
| +
|
| +The report should be given a meaningful subject line briefly summarising the
|
| +issue. Just "bug in OpenSSL" or "bug in OpenSSL 0.9.8n" is not very helpful.
|
| +
|
| +By sending reports to the request tracker the bug can then be given a priority
|
| +and assigned to the appropriate maintainer. The history of discussions can be
|
| +accessed and if the issue has been addressed or a reason why not. If patches
|
| +are only sent to openssl-dev they can be mislaid if a team member has to
|
| +wade through months of old messages to review the discussion.

|
| +* I've found a security issue, how do I report it?
|
| +
|
| +If you think your bug has security implications then please send it to
|
| +openssl-security@openssl.org if you don't get a prompt reply at least
|
| +acknowledging receipt then resend or mail it directly to one of the
|
| +more active team members (e.g. Steve).
