Hi, This is a very fresh CVE, and I wondered if this has caught your attention? When would it be reasonable to expect an update for this issue? ISC have already released patches fixing this issue. https://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-4313 kind regards, David Sommerseth

I realize it's not a solution and you will get the information somewhat unfiltered, but it is a reliable and most importantly currently available source of information.

Alex.
May be a call for volunteers more "intense" could improve the manpower. This could be a more
easy start point to address, no?.
I work too in some [smaller] security processes and can figure out what kind of work are you talking about.
As Kauhaus pointed, may be somethings should be automated but again, this is a hard job to
implement and to keep results trustable.
I'd started following this list recently and yet does not know how
work fluxes are performed here but, may be, this could be a good place to start a review of GLSA processes, what
do you think about this?

Archtester for only 2 weeks or so and since then, i've seen more than
a few stabilizations needed to address security issues. Also, i've
noticed this same problem of not seeing many/any GLSA's in recent
history. As an example, in the past month, Debian has had 13 security
advisories. I personally doubt that we (Gentoo) don't have to worry
about ANY of those 13 advisories...
