More information on this emergency maintenance can be found in the announcement on our website. PHP patches became available today at around 4.00 pm. Some of the repositories have already made these patches available, in particular the so-called ‘ondrej’ repositories. Servers using these repositories are currently being updated. PHP servers that use other repositories will be updated as soon as the patches have been incorporated into those repositories. Any important updates regarding this will be added to this maintenance announcement on our website.
