Do you rely on mailing lists or news articles for security vulnerabilities? Please share.

I only got to know about xz/liblzma [1] and curl [2] [3] vulnerabilities through lemmy (maybe because of high severity?).

    I didn’t really consider that there are feeds for such things, especially for my distro(s). Embarrassing, but it means you helped making me safer!

    I’m now subscribed to the Debian security list, seeing as all my servers run Debian. I just had unattended upgrades with Mail logs before.

    My distribution (archlinux) notifies of critical vulnerabilities that require user action. There’s a news mailing list.

    After that I rely on social network (Mastodon mostly) or lemmy for news, as vulnerabilities often get some conversation. Apart from that, software i’m really interested in I also follow through RSS so I get news when they update for their vulnerabilities -that is when the vulnerabilities are not self inflicted as the xz case-.
