Back in May, we announced that we'd be working on getting Drupal 6 core, and the contrib modules used by our D6LTS customers, working on PHP 7.2 before the end of the year.

This is largely because PHP 5 will be reaching it's End of Life (EOL) on December 31st, and will no longer be supported by the PHP maintainers, which means no more security updates.

How can we help keep your Drupal 6 site secure, if PHP itself is insecure?

Well, that deadline is coming up fast, and in fact, may be coming sooner than December for folks hosted with certain hosting companies!

Acquia just announced that they'll automatically switch all sites hosted on Acquia Cloud to PHP 7.1 on October 1st, less than a month away from now.

Inspired by this (read: some of our customers are hosted on Acquia ;-)) we're going to make a push to get a handful of brave D6LTS customers switched to PHP 7.1 or 7.2 by the end of September.

After proving this out with a handful of sites in September, we'll continue to roll that out to the rest of our customers in October, November and December.

Interested in getting involved? Wondering how much of this will be shared with the community?

We're Drupalers who only recently started digging deep into CiviCRM and we're finding some really cool things! This series of videos is meant to share those secrets with other Drupalers, in case they come across a project that could use them. :-)

There are millions of nonprofit organizations and small businesses across the planet: we want all of them using Roundearth! In the screencast below, we'll show what myDropWizard's Roundearth is all about and offer a brief glimpse at what it looks like logged-in.

As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!

Today, there is a Less Critical security release for the Generate Password module to fix an Insecure Randomness vulnerability.

The Generate Password modules allows administrators to create a new user account without setting a password, allowing the system to automatically generate one. The module doesn't use a strong source of randomness, creating weak and predictable passwords.

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch.

If you have a Drupal 6 site using the Generate Password module, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)

If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.

Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install them (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).
