== The EGI Software Vulnerability Group (SVG) ==
 
The purpose of the EGI Software Vulnerability Group is "To minimize the risk to the EGI infrastructure arising from software vulnerabilities“
 
The EGI SVG runs a procedure for handling software vulnerabilities reported which are relevant to the EGI infrastructure.  This includes vulnerabilities announced by major providers, as well as software which is developed by collaborating projects and organisations used in the EGI infrastructure. 
 
* [https://documents.egi.eu/document/108 Terms of Reference]
 
== Software for use on the EGI infrastructure ==
 
SVG cannot dictate what software is in use on the infrastructure, especially in the rapidly changing environment.
 
If you are involved in selecting software for use in the EGI infrastructure, or developing software for use in the EGI infrastructure it is important that you take some of the responsibility for the security of that software.
 
To help, we have produced a [[SVG:Software Security Checklist | Software Security Checklist ]] of things that you should consider.
 
== What if you find a software vulnerability? ==
 
Unless it has been announced by the software provider on a public web page
 
'''DO NOT''' discuss on a mailing list - especially one with an open subscription policy or public archive
 
'''DO NOT''' post information on a web page
 
'''DO NOT''' publicise in any way - e.g. to the media
 
'''IMMEDIATELY Report it to report-vulnerability (at) egi.eu'''
 
Vulnerabilities announced publicly may be reported to this address too, to ensure SVG is aware of them.
 
See [[SVG:Reporters_View | Reporters View ]]
 
== Main Tasks of the EGI Software Vulnerability Group ==
 
*Provide an efficient process to report, handle, and resolve software vulnerabilities in software used in the EGI infrastructure.
 
This is the largest activity of the EGI SVG.
 
*Provide consultation on software vulnerabilities to the CSIRT team and other EGI groups.
 
*Collaborate with other partners to identify vulnerabilities, and share information on vulnerabilities.
 
*Encourage developers to write secure code, thus reducing the likelihood of future problems, by education and awareness.
 
*Encourage all those involved in the selection and deployment of software to be aware of security, aware that software deployed should be under security maintenance and configured in a secure manner.
 
== Incidents ==
 
If a vulnerability has been exploited, it is an incident, and is NOT handled by the EGI Software Vulnerability Group. 
 
You should then follow the EGI CSIRT Incident Handling Procedure
* https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/SEC01
 
Also see the [[EGI_CSIRT:Incident_reporting | EGI CSIRT Incident Reporting Wiki ]]
 
Several people are in both the EGI Incident Response Task Force as well as the Software Vulnerability group, so sending to either will probably get forwarded fairly quickly to the right people.
 
== The Software Vulnerability Issue Handling process ==
 
The EGI Software Vulnerability [[SVG:Issue Handling Summary |  issue handling  summary]] contains a brief summary of the issue handling process, and links to further information.
*[https://documents.egi.eu/document/2538 EGI Software Vulnerability Issue Handling Process ]
 
This has been updated and updates approved by the Operations Management Board in December 2015
 
== Other activities ==
 
[[SVG:Vulnerability Assessment | Vulnerability Assessment]] is the proactive examination of software in order to find vulnerabilities that may exist.
 
The SVG also encourages developers to write Secure Code [[SVG:Secure Coding | Secure Coding ]]
 
A poster is available summarising the work of SVG  [[File:PosterSVG-2011.pdf | Poster ]] (This is a little old.)
