Is there any plan to list all of the security fixes related CVEs that are
being checked in to the list of official features for this stable tag? We
have listed the Boot Guard one.

Thanks,

Tim:
  There is no special list for the security fixes. All bug fixes will be found in Bugzilla List in stable tag wiki, such as https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable201911
  Boot Guard is as the feature. So, it is listed in the feature planning. 

Thanks

Re: [edk2-announce] Soft Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202002

[Tim Lewis]

Liming --

Thanks for the pointer. 

The reason I ask is that many users of open source projects such as EDKII
scan the releases for CVE numbers in order to make sure that critical
components get updated. This is due to the fact that CVEs often need to be
reported to downstream users. The Bugzilla list is a little hidden, since
these CVE fixes are not called out directly in the wiki page. It would be
much easier if the BZ items that are related to security fixes are promoted
directly to the wiki page, not just available through a BZ query.

Thanks

Tim

* Any commit that fixes a CVE is supposed to carry the CVE ID in its
subject, in the git history. So if you do

$ git log --oneline --reverse edk2-stable201911..master | grep CVE

that should give you the list.

Right now, it gives me:

- CVE-2019-14563
- CVE-2019-14586
- CVE-2019-14558

* For CVE patches pending review, the mailing list can be searched
similarly. (E.g. "posted after a certain date, plus has both "CVE" and
"PATCH" in subject.)

The pending fixes seem to be for:

- CVE-2019-14575
- CVE-2019-14587
- CVE-2019-14559


(Your question is precisely why I've always asked for CVE IDs in patch
subjects.)

Thanks
Laszlo
