Following discussions on the GCC mailing list in recent weeks, a GCC security policy was added for the GNU Compiler Collection codebase to outline the compiler project's security process.

The document outlines GCC security bug handling recommendations, security considerations for GCC language runtime libraries, security features implemented into GCC, and how to best report security bugs privately.
