Content management system Drupal just released a statement confirming a “highly critical” vulnerability found in versions 6, 7 and 8. According to an analysis by Sitelock, only 18% of Drupal websites are on the latest update, so there’s over one million vulnerable sites in need of the new security patch.

The vulnerability allows an attacker to take control of an affected site just by visiting it; attackers can then modify or delete the affected websites’ data. They would also have access to non-public data. Luckily the good news is, to Drupal’s knowledge, the issue is not currently being exploited.

Our datacenter techs are putting up a firewall block within the next few hours, but in the meantime, please update your Drupal to the latest version. Here’s the instructions per version:

If you are running 8.3.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.3.9 or apply this patch.

If you are running 8.4.x, upgrade to Drupal 8.4.6 or apply this patch.

This issue also affects Drupal 8.2.x and earlier, which are no longer supported. If you are running any of these versions of Drupal 8, update to a more recent release and then follow the instructions above.

This issue also affects Drupal 6. Drupal 6 reached End of Life in February 2016.

Currently we are unable to reach datacenter network and we will update once you have more information on outage.

 10.35. AM

We have contacted the datacenter and its related to internet network of the datacenter. Engineers are working on it and we will have update shortly.

 10.45. AM

Network is connected and sites are loading fine now. If you have any issues, please contact support

All the servers will be rebooted by System Engineer and will monitor up-on the reboot for service availability.

All the cPanel servers managed by LankaHost will be rebooted between following window as we need to get server booted in to the latest Kernel release by OS vendors. There will be very short downtime until server get reboot in to the correct Kernel. All the reboots manage in person from server to server and we will make sure all the services are up after reboot.

Server Host Name : server.lankahost.net

IP: 138.128.173.26

Connected Name Servers:

• ns1.lankahost.net
• ns2.lankahost.net
• dns16.lankahost.net
• dns17.lankahost.net

We have noticed primary hard disk of the server is failing. Therefor engineers have immediately taken server offline and replaced the failing disk drive. Currently data being copied from failing disk to new one and as soon as data is copied, server will be back online.

Current Progress

We are working on building better support portal and knowledgebase for our customers. Currently our Kayako support portal is not connected with billing portal. Therefore your existing client log-in will not work for support.lankahost.net but in future we are planning to integrate both of them once we complete all the testing with new Support Portal.

We found Kayako as the product to implement support portal in order to make sure we handle each and every request received from our customers in efficient manner.

If you have any suggestions / feedback, feel free to write us on support@lankahost.net
