[ILUG] procedure for reporting security issues

[ILUG] procedure for reporting security issues

Contact "the vendor".

Contact details will change from vendor to vendor. Check the documentation
and website for whatever the service is; hopefully they will have a mailing
list or contact address for the development team.

Mailing BUGTRAQ before you've informed the developer and given them some
time to prepare a fix is frowned upon. Mailing BUGTRAQ after they've failed
to respond is positively encouraged.

Regards,
Dave
