Security: APRS-NET/APRS.NET

SECURITY.md

Security policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security problem. Report it privately through GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository, so it can be fixed before it is made public.

Include what you can of:

  • the package and version (or commit) affected;
  • the input that triggers it, such as a packet line or a sequence of server responses;
  • what happens, and what you expected.

Supported versions

APRS.NET is in alpha (0.x). Fixes go into the next release only; earlier releases are not patched.

Scope

The parser treats every packet as hostile input, so a crash, hang, or unbounded memory use caused by a packet, a server response or a KISS frame is in scope, as is anything that sends packets the caller did not ask for. Problems in APRS itself, such as unauthenticated traffic on the air, are not.

There aren't any published security advisories
