If you have a Linux security bug report, I'd recommend you also send a
CC: of whatever you send anywhere else to DFN-CERT, dfncert@cert.dfn.de,
the CERT equivalent of the DFN, the German research network.
Unlike CERT, who seem to drop Linux security reports into the bit bucket
as soon as they receive them, DFN-CERT
- do listen to Linux security bug reports
- do keep you informed of what's happening with a bug you reported
(which does give you a nice feeling ;-)
- do fully disclose bugs to their security contacts at sites
- may oneday persuade other CERTs to listen to Linux bug reports

[Mod: Looking at my subscription files, I found that the following two
addresses have already been subscribed to these lists:
linux-security@cert.dfn.de
linux-alert@cert.dfn.de
It seems that, not only do they listen to Linux bug reports, they've
taken a bit of an active interest in both Linux and the
discussions/alerts on these lists. That being the case, CC:'ing
dfncert@cert.dfn.de on messages to this list may be an unnecessary
duplication. (If I'm wrong on this, I invite corrections from the
cert.dfn.de subscribers.) --Jeff.]
