Thanks for the heads up, I will take a look. The server auto installs updates pretty-much as soon as they are released as standard anyway.

Unfortunately the distro I've been using hasn't posted a new version yet, so I've turned my web server off for the time being.

In fact that's what their own website has done, gone to a static page.

The repos are not loading properly, looks like they timing out :roll:

Short of taking the server offline theres not much else I can do. Will keep trying..

I've done some patches to help prevent the issues.. Probably not 100% safe, but better than nothing.

Now updating to the new version..

Server is now patched and everything has checked out fine afterwards.

The Ubuntu PPA was getting hammered all evening with everyone trying to update at once, so it took a fair few attempts to get all the packages down. It felt a lot like loading a game off cassette, with the odd “R Tape loading error” thrown in for good measure. It got there in the end though.

For anyone else running their own server, once the update is installed don’t forget to restart PHP-FPM (or Apache if you’re using mod_php), otherwise the old version just carries on running in the background. “php -v” will show what’s installed, but it’s the restart that actually puts it into use.
