NetPulse releases security patches for the latest major version.

We do not currently have a formal security release process. We will address security vulnerabilities as they are reported and release patches as needed.

When the security team receives a security bug report, they will assign it to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process, involving the following steps:

• Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
• Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
• Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be submitted as pull requests to the NetPulse repository.

If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved, please submit a pull request.
