protect their applications.

## Policy

If we verify a reported security vulnerability, our policy is:

- We will patch the current release branch, as well as the immediate prior minor
  release branch.

- After patching the release branches, we will immediately issue new security
  fix releases for each patched release branch.

- A security advisory will be released on the project website detailing the
  vulnerability, as well as recommendations for end-users to protect themselves.
  Security advisories will be listed at https://getlaminas.org/security/advisories,
  as well as via a [feed](https://getlaminas.org/security/feed) (which is also
  present in the website head for easy feed discovery).
