PHP version 8.0.17

The PHP developers recently released version 8.0.17 that fixes several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 8.0 series on our servers as a result.

This change should not be noticeable, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.

Our servers are not vulnerable to the March 2022 “Dirty Pipe” security bug

Customers have asked us whether our servers are vulnerable to the recent serious security bug CVE-2022-0847 (nicknamed “Dirty Pipe”) in the Linux kernel software (explained in more technical detail here).

The good news is that we don’t use the vulnerable versions of the kernel software on our servers, and we’ve verified in multiple ways that our servers are not vulnerable to this problem.
