+# How to Report a Potential Vulnerability
+
+If you would like to report a public issue (for example, one with a released
+CVE number), please report it using the mailing list as described in README.md
+If you have a patch ready, submit it following the same procedure as any other
+patch as described in the same file.
+
+If you are dealing with a not-yet released or urgent issue, please send a
+message to the layer maintainers, including as many details as possible:
+ - the layer or software module affected
+ - the recipe and its version
+ - any example code, if available
+
+## Branches maintained with security fixes
+
+See [https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Stable_Release_and_LTS Stable release and LTS]
+for detailed info regarding the policies and maintenance of Stable branches.
+
+The [https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases Release page] contains a list of all
+releases of the Yocto Project. Versions in grey are no longer actively maintained with
+security patches, but well-tested patches may still be accepted for them for
+significant issues.
To be compliant with the recent yocto project security processes, add a SECURITY.md for this layer. The file describes how to report public and embargoed security vulnerabilities, and points to Yocto stable/LTS and release maintenance information.
