Qubes security bulletins (QSBs)

A Qubes security bulletin (QSB) is a security announcement issued by the Qubes security team through the Qubes security pack. A QSB typically provides a summary and impact analysis of one or more recently-discovered software vulnerabilities, including details about patching to address them. For Xen security advisories (XSAs), see the XSA tracker.
