+CVE-2018-6789
+=============
+
+There is a buffer overflow in an utility function, if some pre-conditions
+are met. Using a handcrafted message, remote code execution seems to be
+possible.
+
+A patch exists already and is being tested.
+
+Currently we're unsure about the severity, we *believe*, an exploit
+is difficult. A mitigation isn't known.
+
+Next steps:
+
+* t0: Distros will get access to our "security" non-public git repo
+ (based on the SSH keys known to us)
+* t0 +7d: Patch will be published on the official public git repo
+
+t0 will be around 2018-02-08.
