  11     <p>
  12       If you think that an issue with libvirt may have security
  13       implications, <strong>please do not</strong> publicly
  14       report it in the bug tracker, mailing lists, or irc. Libvirt
  15       has <a href="securityprocess.html">a dedicated process for handling (potential) security issues</a>
  16       that should be used instead. So if your issue has security
  17       implications, ignore the rest of this page and follow the
  18       <a href="securityprocess.html">security process</a> instead.
