This repository is part of the EVE project but carries no security policy of its own, so a researcher who lands here is offered no private reporting channel and no sign that one exists. Name the private channels the project already uses, and defer to the main EVE repository for supported versions, response timeline and the coordinated disclosure process, so the project keeps one authoritative policy rather than a divergent copy per repository.

Description
eve-kernelis part of the EVE project but carries no security policy of its own, so GitHub shows no reporting instructions on this repository and a researcher who finds an issue here has no private channel to use.The added
SECURITY.mdnames the private reporting channels the project already uses — eve-security@lists.lfedge.org and GitHub private vulnerability reporting onlf-edge/eve— and defers to the main EVE repository for supported versions, response timeline and the coordinated disclosure process. That keeps one authoritative policy for the project rather than a copy per repository that drifts.The same file is going into the other EVE-family repositories that lack one, and the existing copies in
edge-containers,eve-build-tools,rolandrunxare being repointed in parallel PRs: they link toeve/blob/master/docs/SECURITY.md, which has returned 404 since that file was renamed todocs/SECURITY-ARCHITECTURE.md.One caveat specific to this repository: GitHub only surfaces
SECURITY.mdfrom the default branch, and the default branch here tracks a particular kernel version (eve-kernel-amd64-v6.12.49-genericat the time of writing). The file will need to be carried onto each new kernel branch that becomes the default, or the policy silently disappears from the repository's Security tab.
