2.1 Acceptance of new Inc member

Motion proposed: Accept Reinhard Mutz as new Inc member m20120422.1.

2.2 Recent Security Incidents

Michael discussed with Wytze the possible effects on us by the recently discovered vulnerability in OpenSSL:

• "We generally came to the conclusion that we should be covered. The update on the WebDB was done almost instantly when the packages where available which was about 1 day after the disclosure the signing server should be protected because the WebDB will not let malicious data through, an update for the signer is scheduled anyway. One further attack we've had some days and weeks ago: at least one person is trying once in a while to throw random attacks at us. There is so far no indication that the attacker is successful and the attacks are not directed in any way.

  Some hints are that it is related to this tool: vulnerability-scanner. A major annoyance however is that also the support contact form is tried which results in major floods in our inbox (~1000 mails in a few days). They can be filtered, so not that much trouble, but annoying."

Michael will ask Joost to publish an incident report as per SP5.6.

2.3 DPA issue (reloaded)
