Proposal for a disclosure list for cloud and VPS providers on oss-sec
On October 4, 2026, a message on the oss-sec list proposed evaluating a vulnerability disclosure list for cloud and virtual private server hosting providers that do not offer their own Linux distribution and may therefore not qualify for the distros list.
According to the excerpt available in the oss-sec feed, the message, published on October 4, 2026, asks whether it would make sense to create a disclosure list for cloud computing and virtual private server hosting providers. The argument is that not every provider offers its own operating system or Linux distribution and, for that reason, may not qualify to join the distros list. At the same time, the author notes that there are vulnerabilities that directly and significantly affect cloud computing. The record is a proposal for discussion; the excerpt contains no decision, provider list or timeline.
