Drupal 6

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 Moderately Critical security release for Drupal core and CTools to fix a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal core - Moderately critical - Cross-site scripting - SA-CORE-2020-007

Here you can download:

• The Drupal 6 core patch, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ
• The CTools patch, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ

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

FYI, there were other Drupal core security advisories made today, but those don't affect Drupal 6.

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).

You run a Drupal Agency - or you're an independent Drupal Developer. Did you have to drop everything for the security update yesterday? Don't you have project deadlines to meet? Why deal with that frustration and anxiety?

What if there were a better way? Do the profitable things - and let the robots at myDropWizard handle your Drupal security updates smoothly and automatically?

Today, there is a Critical security release for Drupal core to fix multiple vulnerabilities. You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2018-006

The following vulnerabilities mentioned in the security advisory also affect Drupal 6:

• External URL injection through URL aliases - Moderately Critical - Open Redirect

• Injection in DefaultMailSystem::mail() - Critical - Remote Code Execution

The first vulnerability is in Drupal 6 core, however, the 2nd is only present in the contrib modules: htmlmail, and mimemail. If you don't use those modules, you're not affected by the 2nd vulnerability.

• Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch to fix, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ.
• And here's the mimemail patch, or a full release.
• And here's the htmlmail patch, or full release.

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?
