Subject: Request regarding posts to the lists
This mail list deals with vulnerabilities in several hundred pieces of
software any given month. Please remember that many subscribers to this
list are not part of your project or company. As such, please clearly
identify the product in the subject line.
Just including a sub-component or vulnerable functions and/or a CVE does
not tell us what software the mail is about. This has gotten out of hand
and in at least one case in the past few days, the entire mail never
clearly stated the software that was vulnerable. Sure, most of us know the
poster and it followed other advisories, but to newcomers or anyone
reaching that post via a Google search it is not very friendly.
Thanks,
jericho / OSVDB.org
