What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR adds a new "Threat Model" section to the project's Security documentation (
site/security/index.md).The new section outlines:
orclibrary.Why are the changes needed?
This update is needed to align Apache ORC's security threat model with other foundational data format libraries like Apache Arrow.
The community occasionally receives reports from fuzzing tools regarding crashes, OOMs, or memory issues caused by parsing maliciously corrupted files. This documentation clarifies our stance: because
orcis a low-level format library designed for trusted environments, parsing malformed files that cause a crash (without leading to Remote Code Execution or bypassing a defined security boundary) is considered a normal software bug (a robustness issue) rather than a security vulnerability (CVE).This will help avoid overwhelming maintainers with non-exploitable CVEs and set clear expectations for security researchers.
