<p>Microsoft recently <a href="https://www.tfir.io/2019/07/08/microsoft-linux-private-security-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">applied</a> to join a <a href="https://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/oss-security#list-content-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">private Linux kernel mailing list </a>that’s meant for reporting and discussing security issues privately before they are made public. After a week-long discussion, it’s all but certain that Microsoft will be subscribed to the list. Alexander Peslyak, <a href="https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/07/06/3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the maintainer of the list wrote in a discussion thread on Openwall</a>, “Per our current policy and precedents, I see no valid reasons not to subscribe Microsoft (or part(s) of it, see below) to ‘linux-distros’. So I intend to figure out some detail and proceed with the subscription.” Once accepted, Microsoft will join companies like Oracle and Amazon who are already on the list.</p>
