Hiroki Sato 52f6d56540 - Use /usr/bin/svnlite as SVN if available.
- Replace /XML/{doc,www}/ with /XML/ in SysId.
- Remove empty stylesheets in share/xsl and point share/xml/empty.xsl via
  XML catalog instead.
- Change the L10N layer in freebsd-*.xsl not to use localized XSLT
  stylesheets directly.
- Move share/xsl/* to share/xml and remove share/xsl.

<h2>How and where to report a FreeBSD security issue</h2>
<p>All FreeBSD security issues should be reported to the <a
href="mailto:secteam@FreeBSD.org">FreeBSD Security Team</a>
or, if a higher level of confidentiality is required, PGP
encrypted to the <a
href="mailto:security-officer@FreeBSD.org">Security Officer
Team</a> using the <a href="so_public_key.asc">Security
Officer PGP key</a>. All reports should at least contain:</p>
<ul>
<li>A description of the vulnerability.</li>
<li>What versions of FreeBSD seem to be affected if possible.</li>
<li>Any plausible workaround.</li>
<li>Example code if possible.</li>
</ul>
<p>After this information has been reported the Security Officer
or a Security Team delegate will get back to you.</p>
<h3>Spam filters</h3>
<p>Due to high volume of spam the main security contact mail
addresses are subject to spam filtering. If you cannot contact
the FreeBSD Security Officers or Security Team due to spam filters
(or suspect your mail has been filtered), please send mail to
<tt>security-officer-<em>XXXX</em>@FreeBSD.org</tt> with
<em>XXXX</em> replaced with <tt>3432</tt> instead of the normal
addresses. Note that this address will be changed periodically so
check back here for the latest address. Mails to this address
will go to the FreeBSD Security Officer Team.</p>

<h2>The FreeBSD Security Officer Team and the FreeBSD Security Team</h2>
<p>In order that the FreeBSD Project may respond to vulnerability
reports in a timely manner, emails sent to the <a
href="mailto:security-officer@FreeBSD.org">&lt;security-officer@FreeBSD.org&gt;</a>
mail alias are currently delivered to the following people:</p>
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td>&a.des.email;</td>
<td>Security Officer</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>&a.delphij.email;</td>
<td>Deputy Security Officer</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>&a.simon.email;</td>
<td>Security Officer Emeritus</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>&a.cperciva.email;</td>
<td>Security Officer Emeritus</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>&a.rwatson.email;</td>
<td>Release Engineering liaison,<br/>
TrustedBSD Project liaison, system security architecture expert</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>The Security Officer is supported by the <a
href="&base;/administration.html#t-secteam">FreeBSD Security
Team</a>, <a
href="mailto:secteam@FreeBSD.org">&lt;secteam@FreeBSD.org&gt;</a>,
a small group of committers vetted by the Security Officer.</p>
<a name="pol"></a>
<h2>Information handling policies</h2>
<p>As a general policy, the FreeBSD Security Officer favors full
disclosure of vulnerability information after a reasonable delay
to permit safe analysis and correction of a vulnerability, as well
as appropriate testing of the correction, and appropriate
coordination with other affected parties.</p>
<p>The Security Officer <em>will</em> notify one or more of the
FreeBSD Cluster Admins of
vulnerabilities that put the FreeBSD Project's resources under
immediate danger.</p>
<p>The Security Officer may bring additional FreeBSD developers or
outside developers into discussion of a submitted security
vulnerability if their expertise is required to fully understand
or correct the problem. Appropriate discretion will be exercised
to minimize unnecessary distribution of information about the
submitted vulnerability, and any experts brought in will act in
accordance of Security Officer policies. In the past, experts
have been brought in based on extensive experience with highly
complex components of the operating system, including FFS, the VM
system, and the network stack.</p>
<p>If a FreeBSD release process is underway, the FreeBSD Release
Engineer may also be notified that a vulnerability exists, and its
severity, so that informed decisions may be made regarding the
release cycle and any serious security bugs present in software
associated with an up-coming release. If requested, the Security
Officer will not share information regarding the nature of the
vulnerability with the Release Engineer, limiting information flow
to existence and severity.</p>
<p>The FreeBSD Security Officer has close working relationships with
a number of other organizations, including third-party vendors
that share code with FreeBSD (the OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD
projects, Apple, and other vendors deriving software from FreeBSD,
as well as the Linux vendor security list), as well as
organizations that track vulnerabilities and security incidents,
such as CERT. Frequently vulnerabilities may extend beyond the
scope of the FreeBSD implementation, and (perhaps less frequently)
may have broad implications for the global networking community.
Under such circumstances, the Security Officer may wish to
disclose vulnerability information to these other organizations:
if you do not wish the Security Officer to do this, please
indicate so explicitly in any submissions.</p>
<p>Submitters should be careful to explicitly document any special
information handling requirements.</p>
<p>If the submitter of a vulnerability is interested in a
coordinated disclosure process with the submitter and/or other
vendors, this should be indicated explicitly in any submissions.
In the absence of explicit requests, the FreeBSD Security Officer
will select a disclosure schedule that reflects both a desire for
timely disclosure and appropriate testing of any solutions.
Submitters should be aware that if the vulnerability is being
actively discussed in public forums (such as bugtraq), and
actively exploited, the Security Officer may choose not to follow
a proposed disclosure timeline in order to provide maximum
protection for the user community.</p>
<p>Submissions may be protected using PGP. If desired, responses
will also be protected using PGP.</p>
