When we originally announced that we'd be providing Drupal 6 Long-Term Support, we committed to supporting our customers until at least February 2017.

Each year in the spring, we've taken a look at the state of Drupal 6 and decided whether we'll extend support for another year, and if we need to make any changes to our offering. Here's the articles from 2016, 2017, and 2018 where we announced an additional year each time and any new concerns (for example, PHP 7 support).

Today, we're announcing that we'll be extending our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support two more years until at least February 2022!

I'm sure there will come a time, when it no longer makes business sense to pour resources into Drupal 6 for the few remaining sites, however, it's already clear to us that there's enough demand for a couple more years.

Also, now that we know when Drupal 7 will reach it's End-of-Life, we've started to plan for that, and decided that we'd like D6LTS to last at least until then (which is why we're announcing an additional 2 years this time, rather than just 1).

Regarding Drupal 7: we've officially applied to be a Drupal 7 Extended Support vendor and have been accepted. :-)

Read on to find out more!

We're continuing our popular "Support Wizard Help Desk" at Drupalcon 2019! Book some time with myDropWizard for some FREE help with your Drupal site!

You're a first time Drupalcon attendee? You're a veteran Drupaler? Either way, you made part of your Drupalcon mission to fix a lingering issue - or at least to be pointed in the right direction!

We're here to help!

We spend our days helping Drupalers just like you every day with their support needs, so we thought "Let's bring that myDropWizard Support Face-to-Face with Drupalers: FOR FREE!"

So, drop by Booth #811 or (better yet!) schedule with us below!

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 Critical security release for the EU Cookie Compliance module to fix an Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

The module provides a banner where you can gather consent from the user when the website stores cookies.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize data for some interface labels and strings shown in the cookie policy banner.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "Administer EU Cookie Compliance banner".

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch or the full release.

If you have a Drupal 6 site using the EU Cookie Compliance 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).

Today, there is a Moderately Critical security release for the Context module to fix an Open Redirect vulnerability.

The context module enables site builders to setup conditions and reactions for different parts of the site.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user output when displayed leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the ability to store malicious markup in the site (e.g. permission to create a node with a field that accepts "filtered html").

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

Here you can download:

• Context 6.x-2.x: the Drupal 6 patch or the full release
  
• Context 6.x-3.x:  the Drupal 6 patch or the full release

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