| # Security Policy |
| |
| ## Reporting a vulnerability |
| |
| The iproute2 suite of utilities is tightly coupled with the Linux |
| kernel networking. Therefore the bug reporting process mirrors |
| the Linux kernel. Most security problems reported related to |
| iproute2 are really Linux kernel issues (a.k.a Shoot the messenger) |
| and are best handled via |
| [Linux Security Bugs](https://docs.kernel.org/process/security-bugs.html). |
| |
| For other issues please report bugs to netdev@vger.kernel.org |
| and include an example script. |
| |
| ## Supported Versions |
| |
| There are no official "Long Term Support" versions for iproute2. |
| The iproute2 version matches the Linux kernel versions. |
| There will be occasional maintenance releases for serious |
| issues if found. Users who need support are encouraged |
| to use the version of iproute2 found in major distributions. |
