The great EOL battle has begun on BZ...
by Eric Christensen 29 May '15

29 May '15

It's that time of year when a bunch of CVE BZ tickets get put on the chopping block due to EOL of a Fedora version. I've started reviewing the CVEs[0] that fall into this category and have found 119. We need to evaluate each of these to see if the version in F21+ is still affected. If they can go EOL then please leave a message that says as much and a whiteboard entry 'FST_evaluated=EOL_Okay' along with going ahead and owning the bug 'FST_Owner=<FAS Name>'. If the CVE isn't fixed in F21+ then go ahead and bump it up to the highest F version that is affected (probably rawhide). This is probably a good time to also look at upstream to see in what version they addressed the vulnerability and noting that information in the ticket.

About reporting security issues to FST
by P J P 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hello Yesterday, during our weekly meeting it was proposed that we invite people to report Fedora security issues to Red Hat Product Security, instead of FST. As anyway they are the ones who end up triaging most of the issues. -> https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2015-05-28/fedora_security… Fedora has 'security(a)fedoraproject.org' and 'security-private(a)lists.fedoraproject.org' addresses, but both are dormant and unknown to wider community folks. Your comments and inputs are welcome here. Thank you. --- Regards -P J P http://feedmug.com

FAS Group and Group permissions
by Eric Christensen 29 May '15

29 May '15

We seem to have two FAS groups of interest: security-team[0] and gitfedora- security-team[1]. The prior is just a membership group while the latter allows commit access to the fedora-security-team git repo[2]. I propose we put all the members of the membership group onto the git group (and maybe they can by regularly synchronized automatically?). I also propose that we remove all the folks from the membership group that don't seem to be participating (as in, if you reply to this email with a meaningful response you get to stay on). Thoughts?

Meeting minutes... kind of.
by Eric Christensen 27 May '15

27 May '15

I started this morning's meeting and no one showed up. I understand that the time isn't great (did it used to be great?) and we should probably revisit it. I also want to convey that participation in the meetings is *not* a prerequisite to participating on the team. Below is the agenda for today's meeting along with some discussion points I wanted to make. Please feel free to reply and comment on things inline so we can continue the discussion. * #topic Follow up on last week's tasks ** jsmith to patch rubygem-activesupport as provenpackager (BZ 905374) I believe this is still in progress. Jared, can you comment? ** pjp started non-responsive maintainer against rubygem-activesupport in EPEL6 Whatever happened with this? ** Team Goal: All important CVEs from 2014 and before should be fixed by the end of June. More on that below... * #topic 90-Day Challenge ** #link https://ethercalc.org/90-day-challenge ** #info 90-Day Challenge has a goal to close all 2014 and prior Important CVEs in Fedora ** #info As of 2015-04-29, of the 38 target bugs 14 have been closed, 1 is On_QA, and 23 are Open We had a few bugs that were On_QA move over to the Closed-Errata status since the last time I looked. We're currently up to a little over a third of our target bugs being closed. We've got a little over a month to get the rest of them done. Lets see if we can make a big push over the coming week. * #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets ** #info Thursday's numbers: Critical 1, Important 40 (+2), Moderate 370 (+22), Low 160 (0), Total 571, Trend +24 ** #info Current tickets owned: 107 (~19%) ** #info Tickets closed: 315 (+11) While cases are still getting closed, the number of tickets actively being worked (or owned, really) is being reduced. It would appear that we aren't picking up new cases to work. I've noticed over the past few months that participation has dropped significantly, too. I'd love to know why. * #topic Loss of momentum ** #info The FST has been around for almost a year. Our participation is dropping like flies. Anyone have any ideas? A new meeting time? Rewards/swag? Something more interesting to do? I know this isn't the most fun job in Fedora but I'd like to think we're making a difference. Perhaps we need to talk more about what we're doing in public (or, more in public)? --Eric

Scripts to count cases
by Eric Christensen 21 May '15

21 May '15

I'm honestly not sure why I took so long to do this but I wrote a couple of bash scripts[0][1] to count ticket numbers. What used to take several minutes now takes several seconds. The scripts CAN but simplified and made more efficient but I just wanted to get the data quickly. Feel free to use them or make them better or do whatever. Perhaps we can start working on a dashboard.
