Process is same for submitting changes for project be it a feature a bug fix or new feature. you prepare the changeset and then send the patches ( and cover letter if multiple patches) to mailing list for review. This is a good guide in developer manual here https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html?highlight=submitting+patches > > 2) Is there any known place where i can share that i am looking at this CVE > so we save effort duplication Usually, its a good idea to send email in advance to inform the community about your work that does have some advantage but when patches arrive on mailing list thats mostly when we know of someone did the work for sure. > > 3) Can i share the patch as attachment here or i need to send via "git > send-email" only. > Currently i am facing some issue with git send-email at my end Most maintainers pick them from mailing list or tools like lore or patchwork. So git send-email has had good results of sending patches intact.

Thats good. You can always mention these activities in cover letter, thats very useful information for reviewers and maintainers. > > Thanks , > Ashish. > > > > > > >
