Security is Always Top Of Mind
Security will always be a big issue in software and it has a critical impact on your business—one that you can’t leave to chance. At ActiveState, we ship security updates based on the following three criteria:
- CVE/NVD CVSS value (https://nvd.nist.gov/cvss.cfm)
- Usefulness (how likely it is that the problematic behavior is important to Enterprise applications)
- Risk (how likely it is that the fix has introduced a new issue)
Based on the above criteria, we issue a security fix in the following timeframes:
| CVE Rating | Timeframe for Fix |
|---|---|
| CRITICAL | 24 hours of public announcement regardless of their usefulness or the risk of additional bugs. These fixes will be applied to the most recent versions of our Business Edition and Community Edition offerings, and all Enterprise builds. |
| HIGH |
Enterprise Edition: issues will usually be fixed prior to the next regular release unless there is a significant impact on usefulness or we deem the fix risky in other respects. Business Edition: issues will be fixed in the next regular release unless there have been reported issues with the fix in terms of usefulness or risk. Note: Older Business Edition builds may not be fixed, as patches are typically incompatible more than a few versions back. Community Edition: builds are always updated at the same time as our Business Edition builds. |
| MEDIUM OR LOW | Issues will be fixed in the next regular release unless there have been reported issues with the fix in terms of usefulness or risk |
