Reporting New Security Problems with Apache CouchDB
28
===================================================
30
The Apache Software Foundation takes a very active stance in eliminating
31
security problems and denial of service attacks against Apache CouchDB.
33
We strongly encourage folks to report such problems to our private security
34
mailing list first, before disclosing them in a public forum.
36
Please note that the security mailing list should only be used for reporting
37
undisclosed security vulnerabilities in Apache CouchDB and managing the
38
process of fixing such vulnerabilities. We cannot accept regular bug reports
39
or other queries at this address. All mail sent to this address that does not

relate to an undisclosed security problem in the Apache CouchDB source code
43
If you need to report a bug that isn't an undisclosed security vulnerability,
44
please use the `bug reporting page`_.

and we cannot promise magic workarounds to generic problems (such as a client
63
streaming lots of data to your server, or re-requesting the same URL
64
repeatedly). In general our philosophy is to avoid any attacks which can

cause the server to consume resources in a non-linear relationship to the
