Drupal Patch

Submitted by Steve Hanson on Thu, 10/09/2008 - 9:32am
This morning there was a new Drupal security release.  For the time being, pending further testing of the new Drupal releases, we've applied the security patch to all Drupal instances we are hosting.  We will upgrade all of the sites to Drupal 5.11 or 6.5 within the next several weeks, but for the time being the security fixes are installed.

DNS Vulnerabilities

There's been quite a lot of coverage about the recently discovered vulnerabilities in the DNS protocol.  We thought we'd mention that we patched for those vulnerabilities within 24 hours after repaired binaries were released by the vendors, and we also made some changes to our DNS server configuration to make the servers less vulnerable. 

We do this sort of thing all the time, and it's one of the reasons that our web hosting is a little more expensive than some others - that is, we're actually paying attention.  

In any case, if you were wondering, we're all set.
